2010 National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show

The 2010 National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show will be North America's largest food, hospitality, and food services show again this year. Over 50,000 attendees will view food, beverages, and products and services from more than 2,000 industry exhibitors. The NRA Show is truly an international show with representatives from more than 100 countries participating in this annual global market place for the restaurant and hospitality industry. There are no tourists or �foodies� allowed in this show. The NRA show is THE industry event that allows you to talk to real buyers and sales representatives.

All restaurant industry segments are represented. The hotels, resorts, and casinos are buying for their properties. Institutional, military, and contract operators are looking for new trends. The cruise lines are still growing and the chain/multi-concept restaurants want to see your products or services.

Vector Displays is a trade show exhibit fabricator that specializes in large format displays for your convention exhibit or trade show displays. Because we work differently, coordinating closely with our clients year after year, we are the perfect choice for both first-time exhibitors and exhibitors who want to increase their presence with larger displays than they have previously used in the past at industry shows.

NRA Show attendees are decision-makers. What is the impression or image you will present? Will you make the connections that sell? Your buyers will be walking the floor in Chicago's McCormack Place Convention Center, May 22-25, 2010. They will be looking for products and services that help them deliver profits and unique trends that their customers will buy. In four days, you can talk to current customers and find new buyers from all over the world. Those buyers will be in Chicago looking for you. If you need to find and talk to restaurant owners, chain operators, and hospitality executives, industry distributors, importers, wholesalers and other trade buyers, the NRA Show is the place to be. Vector Displays can make your impression a powerful one.

If your tools, utensils, or other equipment are new, special, or unique, think about exhibiting in the Kitchen Innovations Pavilion on the NRA Show floor. The annual Kitchen Innovations Awards recognizes meritorious or notable food service and prep equipment from around the world.

It's the spot on the show floor specifically designed to allow dispensing and tastings.

Your new buyers will be there�we think you should be, too. Make a splash in the Pavilion. If you are new to the NRA show or need the guaranteed traffic and exposure from buyers who want new products and food/beverage ideas, the International Cuisine Pavilion is prime real estate. Pavilion exhibitors also benefit from specific support and publicity efforts by the NRA media coordinators, who reach out to national and international press to publicize the show.

International exhibitors face special challenges, and Vector Displays can assist you in growing your relationship with existing clients. The NRA show is a great place to develop a new brand image and increase awareness of your product or service in the U.S. marketplace.
