The programme for the National Convenience Show 2024 has been unveiled.

Taking place at the NEC in Birmingham on 29 April – 1 May, the event will bring together some of the biggest brands in convenience under one roof.

Part of the UK Food & Drink Shows, the National Convenience Show will be co-located with Food & Drink Expo, Farm shop & Deli Show, The Forecourt Show and for the first time, The Restaurant Show.

As well as the brands exhibiting and the opportunity to network, there will also be a series of sessions examining the biggest issues in the convenience sector affecting retailers.

There will be discussions on shopper behaviour, crime, what’s next for the National Lottery and vape regulations, with more sessions to be announced. New for 2024, a panel of experts will be pitched ideas from brands about upcoming products.

Head of communications at William Reed Giorgio Rigali said: “We are delighted to announce a stellar line-up of industry influencers for the UK Food & Drink Shows this April. The inclusion of The Restaurant Show in 2024, as well as the introduction of the Farm Shop & Deli Stage, further enhances the content programme at the show, giving visitors from across all food and drink channels access to information that will help drive decision making and have a positive impact on their businesses.”
