Since REVIVE has become the popular place to get healthier options, we have created a Buyers’ Exchange for attendees to have a quiet place to have meetings or just take a minute to relax. The entry to the Buyers’ Exchange will be connected to REVIVE keeping the buyers on the show floor as much as possible. We have also ramped up our buyer education by offering Sourcing Discussions at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. in the Buyers’ Exchange. In addition to seasoned buyer, Dave Abbate, sharing his wealth of knowledge, we will be introducing our new Publishing Editor, Jasmine and featuring product available on the show floor. If you would like to be considered to have your product used, contact us at [email protected]. We can’t wait to see you in Vegas! What the buyers are saying... “Great show! Always happy with my margin building vendors.” “I had a wonderful time at the show. I got some new accounts that I am really excited about.” “The Show was very eye-opening for me and enjoyed it very much. I was able to make contacts that will help me in my future endeavors in business and I thank you guys for putting on a great event.” Let us help you promote your booth.
