The AWMA Marketplace & Solutions Expo: The Conference for Convenience Distributors, by the American Wholesale Marketers Association, is the show for the wholesale distributors of snacks, candy, tobacco, and tobacco products, foodservice, general merchandise and other convenience store products. In an exciting two days of Expo floor, power buyers from wholesale distributors from across the country examine convenience products and distribution technologies exhibited by manufacturers. 

The AWMA Expo is the only national show serving wholesale distributors and their trading partners who serve the convenience segment.  At the AWMA Expo, your company will:

  • Meet face to face with the industry’s top distributors
  • Get instant results from show deals you offer on the show floor
  • Launch new products
  • Build and maintain buyer relationships

AWMA is committed to delivering a high value show to exhibitors through:

  • targeted marketing to the industry’s top category buyers
  • expanding educational programs to include more focus on category-specific topics, consumers, trends and business building strategies
  • networking reception to be held in the exhibit hall
