This year’s National Convenience Show starts today in Birmingham’s NEC. 

Today (13 April) sees the opening of the National Convenience Show in Birmingham, with exhibitors, retailers, suppliers and members of the public descending on the National Exhibition Centre.

The three-day event, held annually, is a one-stop shop for the convenience sector, playing host to the products, services and innovations that will shape the entire industry in the next twelve months and beyond.

Forming part of the UK Food Shows alongside the Food & Drink Expo, Farm Shop & Deli Show and the Forecourt Show, the award-winning event is produced in tandem with Convenience Store’s sister title, The Grocer. Over 1,200 exhibitors will be in attendance, with a quarter of a million visitors expected over the three days.

There will also be a full schedule of speakers, talks and panels across Convenience Store’s stage, as well as The Grocer’s, offering insight into the current state of the market, and expertise from those in the know.

Convenience Store will bring you highlights from the show throughout the week.
