Getting onto the shelf often starts with a buyer trying the product, meeting the people behind it and deciding it’s something worth carrying. Those conversations happen in Anaheim.
Every March, buyers from major grocery chains, co-ops and specialty retailers come to Expo West for the next brand they haven’t discovered yet. You don't need to be established to be in the room — at Expo West, young brands stand in the same environment as the industry's biggest players. 30% of recent exhibitors were new to the show — all it takes is a product worth trying and three days in Anaheim.
82% of exhibitors come back. Those three days in Anaheim give you the access to introduce your product and start the relationships that turn into retail distribution, and take the next step toward broader growth — conversations that are much harder to build from a distance.
WHY EXHIBIT AT EXPO WEST?
Put your brand in front of the people who can grow it
Buyers, retailers and distributors come to Expo West to discover what’s next — and to find the brands they haven’t stocked yet.
Get the visibility that moves you from building the brand to building the business.
Some products need more than a pitch. At Expo West, buyers can see, try and experience your product while meeting the people behind it — turning visibility into real retail relationships.
Stand in the same room as the industry's biggest players
Being in Anaheim puts your brand in the same environment as established names, creating access to the buyers, partners and relationships that accelerate growth.
New to Expo West? You’re not alone.
30% of recent exhibitors were new to the show, proof that you don't need an established presence or a long track record to take your next step. Whether this is your first show or your fifth, you'll be standing alongside brands at every stage of growth.
Make three days count toward broader distribution.
With buyers, retailers and distributors together in Anaheim, you can spend those three days building the relationships that lead to your next stage of growth. These are conversations that are much harder to start cold, over email, or from a distance — in person, they move faster and go further.
Stay visible after Anaheim.
Beacon Discovery keeps your brand visible after the show, giving buyers who missed you on the floor another way to find you. Your presence doesn't end when the show does — it extends your reach well beyond the three days in Anaheim, keeping the door open for connections that happen after the fact.
