Trade Show:

SAWD Southern Showcase 2012
89th Annual Meeting & Exposition
May 29 - June 1, 2012

Why Exhibit at Southern Showcase 2012?

The 14 states that comprise the region covered by the Southern contain 46% of all c-stores in the country as reported in Trade Dimensions 2006 Directory of Convenience Stores. Specifically, that 46% is made up of over 66,653 c-stores...the majority of which are serviced by wholesale distributors who are members of the Southern Association of Wholesale Distributors and many of which will be in attendance at Southern Showcase 2012.

The ROI for exhibit dollars is significantly greater at the Southern Showcase not only because of the large number of retailers that our members service, but also because of the comparatively low cost to exhibit. At $1,550 for a 10' x 10' space at a show that allows you to sell product to wholesalers that service 46% of the c-stores in the country...we are the best bargain in town.
