What's New in 2022!
We’re partnering with (included), a membership collective for BIPOC top executives in CPG who are dedicated to one another’s success, who advocate for diverse representation, and who commit to amplifying BIPOC voices. This exciting partnership guides multiple efforts at both Expo East in Philadelphia and Expo West in Anaheim and is a strong steppingstone in creating a long-term strategy for how our platforms can most effectively elevate BIPOC-owned brands in the industry. Highlights from these efforts include conference session collaborations, complimentary NPEV memberships for (included) members, networking events and onsite exhibit space and table top features.

In 2021, they distributed over 50 million pounds of food to the local community in need.
- Exhibitor booth material donations: Usable and non-broken exhibitor booth materials will be donated to Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia. By donating these products, exhibitors are supporting their mission to transform lives and the city by building and repairing homes in partnership with families in need, and uniting all Philadelphians around the cause of affordable housing. A list of acceptable materials is available at the Exhibitor Service Desk.
