Columbus, OH—The Mid-American Health Organization (MAHO), a regional trade association serving the retail and supply members in the natural products industry, announced that its annual Summer Splash” Convention & MAHO Expo, which is taking place July 26-28, is now sold out. The event, which focuses on the Independent Brick & Mortar Retailer, is being held at Hilton Columbus at Easton, in Columbus, OH. This year, MAHO boasts 94 booths and tabletop spaces representing 93 exhibiting companies, not including industry business partners and affiliates. Eighteen exhibiting companies are new to the MAHO Expo, and 17 are returning companies that have lapsed for one year or more.
Summer Splash caters to those who may not typically attend large shows, giving them the opportunity to attend a modest-sized yet intimate show where they can connect and spend quality time with exhibitors and industry professionals. The MAHO team, along with industry partners, has been soliciting retailer attendance through social media, phone call invitations, e-blasts, mailings, information included in shipments, and personal visits to valued industry independent natural product retailers across the country.
"Many say this is their ‘favorite show’ in the industry, as it affords both retailers and exhibitors quality time for networking in this two-day trade show format in addition to excellent educational programming throughout the weekend," MAHO shared.
