After confirming at the end of last year that its annual retail exhibition will return as a physical event on 27 & 28 September, Nisa has announced that registration is now open.
The past two shows held by Nisa were moved to a virtual platform due to Covid and so the 2022 event is planned to be an affair “not to be missed giving retailers and suppliers a brilliant opportunity to meet up on a face-to-face basis after a significant period of time”.
Returning once again to the NAEC at Stoneleigh, more than 200 suppliers will be in attendance to share their latest products, talk about trends they are seeing, and engage with Nisa retailers.
The Nisa and Co-op teams will also be there to talk to retailers and suppliers as well as share their proposition with other independent retailers interested in learning more.
Events manager at Nisa, Jenny Potter said: “As ever, the expo will provide the perfect opportunity for suppliers and partners to interact and share thoughts and ideas with new as well as existing contacts.
“We know that nothing beats seeing and speaking to others in person and so we’re delighted to be able to welcome partners, prospects, suppliers as well as colleagues back to Stoneleigh once again.”
The event will play host to many of the regular parts of the show, including the black-tie gala awards dinner, alongside some new elements designed to support Nisa retailers and help to grow their businesses.
“We’ve taken the best bits of our traditional show and added in some of the best parts of our more recent virtual offer as well as some more new ideas and we’re really looking forward to sharing it with our partners and suppliers,” said Jenny.
Registration is via the event website.
