Sponsorship Event Descriptions
Sponsorship of The NGA Show gives your company broad exposure to Presidents and CEOs as well as senior executives and management staff of the leading independent retail grocers; and establishes your company as an industry partner with these companies. Along with your attendance at The NGA Show, a sponsorship effort reinforces your support of the industry and this essential customer base.
