DIGITAL TRADE SHOW

PLMA Live! Presents Private Label Week

Five days of virtual, category-specific trade shows conducted on our proprietary digital platform as well as dozens of streaming, original video programs featuring store brand CEOs, leading retailers, industry experts, category profiles, and news and features on private label food and non-food products in all channels.

While you search the virtual trade show floor all throughout Private Label Week, you can find the same high quality, store brand products you have come to expect from a traditional PLMA Show: food, snacks, beverages, health and beauty, OTC, household and kitchenware.

Retail buyers can still discover the newest and most innovative products featured in virtual trade show booths and learn about every exhibitor’s capabilities and product range. They can meet face-to-face in live video calls to replicate the in-person experience. In addition, they can exchange virtual business cards and share private messages, as well as send documents through the secure virtual platform, which will remain open to visitors for up to 90 days after the Show.
