Everything You Never Expected!

More than 2,600 delegates attended Grocery Showcase West 2010. The trade show floor buzzed with excitement as delegates previewed and sampled the latest and greatest in grocery innovations, while the conference lineup thrilled and informed. Media also made a strong showing and many of our members helpfully participated in interviews for us (thank you)!

It was one of the most engaging and informative shows yet and we’re already looking forward to impressing you at our next show!
