ProWein 2025 opens for stall reservations Registration of exhibitors for ProWein 2025 (16-18 March) in Düsseldorf, Germany will remain open until 30 June this year, and hall space will be allocated in September. Next year’s trade show will take a more “compact” approach structurally, according to Peter Schmitz, Director of ProWein. ProSpirits will return in 2025 after making its debut this year. The 2024 edition of ProWein (10-12 March) welcomed around 4,000 fewer visitors than in 2023. A total of 45,082 out of the 47,000 registered visitors were in attendance. The show offered 5,289 exhibitors, with 703 of these from Germany. The remaining 4,586 were international brands, with 65 countries in total represented (including Germany). The top visitor countries were the Netherlands (12%), Belgium (6%), Italy (6%), the UK (5%), France (5%) and the US (4% ). #drinksindustry #prowein #tradeshow

Are you a name-brand grocery buyer or do you take a chance on lesser-known/store brands? Regardless of your preference, many buyers are clearly moving towards the latter. In fact, the private-label Food & Beverage Market is projected to increase by $43.9 billion at a CAGR of 6.43% by 2028. This is in part due to a global cost of living crisis, along with the fact that private-label options have substantially improved in quality in recent years. While in the past, it was hard to find quality products without the recognizable label, more and more store brands are emerging with comparable levels of quality. With hundreds of suppliers offering an extensive range of food and beverage products, White Label World Expo New York is tipped to provide opportunities to help your business expand its delicious range of products as well as being a pivotal location for developing relationships to conquer new markets. Here’s just some of our food & drink exhibitors setting up at this year's show: Lone Oak Coffee Co.

Reflecting on an Enlightening Experience at ProWein 2024 🍷   This past week, I had the privilege of attending ProWein 2024 in Dusseldorf, and what an experience it was! From exploring innovative trends to reconnecting with industry peers, it was an eventful journey filled with valuable insights.   Having last attended ProWein before the pandemic, the contrast was noticeable. While the number of exhibitors was still plentiful, there was a noticeable decrease in attendance. This provided ample space to move around and little to no wait to speak with exhibitors.   One aspect that struck me was the diverse approaches taken by exhibitors to capture visitors' attention. From elaborate displays to creative marketing strategies, it was fascinating to see the ingenuity on display. However, I couldn't help but notice that exhibitors with limited budgets faced challenges in standing out.   Cost was another prominent theme of discussion. Participating in ProWein has become increasingly expensive, not just in terms of event fees but also travel and accommodation costs. Many attendees had to make compromises to manage these expenses, with some even shortening their stay. Some skipped ProWein altogether in lieu of alternative events that provided greater value.   Speaking of alternatives, there was a buzz surrounding Wine Paris, touted for providing greater value and for the location being more convenient and affordable. It's clear that the landscape of industry gatherings is evolving, and it's crucial to explore all options.   As I reflect on my time at ProWein 2024, I'm undecided about my attendance next year. However, I'm eager to explore the offerings of Wine Paris 2025 and see firsthand if it lives up to the hype.   To all my fellow wine enthusiasts and industry professionals, I encourage you to share your own experiences and insights from ProWein 2024. Let's continue to learn, adapt, and grow together in this dynamic industry! 🥂 #ProWein2024 #WineIndustry #Networking #WineParis2025

Congratulations to the city of Chicago for successfully hosting the CGF 2024 Global Summit! Amsterdam has big shoes to fill next year, and so do CGF and its members. In less than six years, the leading consumer demographic will be the first generation never to know the world without the Internet. As Nathalie Roos, CEO of LIPTON Teas and Infusions, aptly put it on Summit Day 2, 'Gen Z will soon become the defining generation of humanity.' Gen Zers like Summit plenary speakers Dev Sharma and Molly Lewis of Bite Back 2030 are actively sketching the world's landscape they want and expect. Which CGF companies will be agile and creative enough to remain relevant for this defining generation? Research tells us that Gen Zers are known to be highly collaborative, pragmatic, and diverse. They consider uniqueness the norm, embrace simplicity, and reward self-reliance. This shift is ESG in the flesh. Investors and proactive companies like Mars have their ears to the ground.

I’m in Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪 today for the biggest, most globally connected and most exclusive event in the German Convenience- and Fuel Retailing industry. >150 invited guests from German retail and supplier companies gathered for networking and knowledge sharing at The Retail Marketeers‘ annual industry networking event, organised by Christian Warning We at NACS are proud to support this event as part of our worldwide NACS | Convenience Leaders Exchange Series. Thank you to Alvern Media GmbH for sponsoring our exclusive pre-event dinner for our most engaged industry supporters. Thank you to the speakers for sharing their international insights: - Dave Coombe , Gilbarco Veeder-Root - Brad Sandys , Techniche - Oliver Weerts , Kempower - Maurice Neligan , JOLT ENERGY - Axel Niesing , Anton Willer - Lorenz Kiene , Lühmann Gruppe - Dan Munford , Global Convenience Store Focus - Paul Bethke , Lemonaid & ChariTea - Michael Osborne , Gander - Tilo Hühn , ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences - Vincent Vida ,upgrain - Henry Armour , NACS - Scott Annan Some of the learnings: - Healthy foodservice is not a niche, it’s a business driver - Retail crime is increasing and we need to prepare to make our stores safe work environments - just because a category is declining (fuel nicotine, …) doesn’t mean we stop investing. We just need to be smarter about it - e-fuels vs. bev: it’s not an either or but an and I am surely looking forward to next year‘s event.
