Exhibit at Natural Products NorthWest the premier regional industry event that means business and offers participating companies the best opportunity to connect with retail buyers in the Pacific Northwest, greater West and beyond.  

A great opportunity to manage, develop and expand your business in the dynamic NorthWest. Natural Products NorthWest is designed to enhance your company’s success.  

Our primary objective is to offer a festive and comfortable atmosphere for exhibitors to establish new contacts, build business, and maintain a strong presence with existing customers.  The result is: a satisfying show that is well-organized, energetic, and friendly.

"Great show, I got new stores (accounts) and enjoyed meeting our (existing) customers."  Brian Taschereau, Highland Laboratories

No time wasted on sample-hunters and non-qualified attendees at this show. Rather you will: see key food and supplement buyers and important decision-makers.

“This NW show helped launch, develop and expand our business presence in this valuable region of independent retailers." 
Bob Barrows, Bluebonnet Nutrition

Our show offers the prime opportunity to see Northwest buyers, many of whom do not attend any other show.  As the premier NW show and one of the top regional shows in the country, we deliver: 260+ exhibiting companies (manufacturers, brokers and distributors), 1,000+ quality attendees representing over 250 retail stores.

"I stopped going to the bigger shows because of the quality of retailers.  The quality of retailers here is great." Alli Darling, Juniper Ridge 



    WHO SHOULD EXHIBIT? 

    Natural Products NorthWest is supported both by national suppliers from across the county and Canada and also by local and regional suppliers.  New enterprises find that the NW show provides a great opportunity to develop markets.  We are fortunate to have large distributors and brokers as active supporters and engaged participants in the show.  Our best reference is that:  our exhibitors continue to return year after year.

    Products must be available for sale through a retail store.  Companies with broker representation should contact us and their broker directly to be included in the broker’s booth section. 2010 Exhibitor List
