NAMA Takes Wraps Off New Events Scheduled For Aprils Vending Show

CHICAGO -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association reports that two more attractive events are slated to make their debut at the 2015 OneShow convention and exposition. The annual confab is set for the Las Vegas (NV) Convention Center from April 22 through 24.

For the first time, the final day of the show will be enlivened by a series of activities in the exhibit area. Called the Friday Wrap, it's a format that enables exhibitors to conduct prize raffles, offer in-booth giveaways and provide entertainment. "It's a great way for operators to connect with exhibitors they might have missed and an opportunity for exhibitors to drive new traffic to their booths, all in a fun, exciting atmosphere," NAMA observed.

Further adding value to OneShow attendance will be the Thursday Networking Reception, the association continued. "Before heading out for the evening, operators and exhibitors will be able to add yet another hour of quality networking to the over 40 hours of networking potential," the association explained. The new exhibitor-sponsored event will take place from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on April 23.

The Friday Wrap and the Thursday Reception are the latest additions to what NAMA is designing as "an incredible show floor "expeerience." The exhibits will officially open with a first-ever Mascot Parade on April 22, following an entertaining opening general session with headline keynoter Jay Leno.
