THE NATIONAL AUTOMATIC MERCHANDISING
Association (NAMA) announced nearly 5,000 operators,
suppliers and industry professionals, representing 35 countries,
attended the NAMA Show 2023 at Atlanta's Georgia World
Congress Center in May.
The show kicked off with the general session, which included
a panel discussion on the association's next-level advocacy
agenda, addressing two pivotal issues: The first was the
acceptance of SNAP EBT (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program Electronic Benefit Transfer) in vending machines and
micro markets. The second: elimination or reduction of state
sales tax in vending machines and micro markets, achieving
parity in relation to similar industries.
Imagination Way returned for its second year, and visitors
explored hands-on exhibits replicating concepts and solutions
for end consumers - showcasing everything from automated
restaurants to robotic self-service retail technology. The show
also offered over 30 education sessions across five tracks.
The NAMA Show 2024 will take place May 7-9, in Dallas,
Texas, at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
