NAMA Coffee Tea & Water Trade Show Introduces ‘Roaster Row’

The National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) has brought its two annual trade shows — The NAMA Show and the Coffee Tea & Water show — together this year for a single event this Aug. 18-20 in New Orleans.

Another new development is Roaster Row, a dedicated space on the show floor for coffee roasting companies to showcase goods to buyers in the vending and convenience services industries.

“In previous years, coffee roasting companies were welcome to exhibit on the CTW show floor. Roaster Row is the first time exhibit space is dedicated for roasters as a one-stop-shop for potential clients at a discounted rate,” NAMA Executive Vice President Eric Dell told DCN. “With navigating pandemic recovery, we wanted to create an opportunity to empower small business roasters who are looking to break into or expand their convenience services and office coffee service (OCS) channels.”
