Retail Services

Trade shows are all about networking opportunities, sourcing products and finding new suppliers. To help retailers and wholesalers connect with private label manufacturers on a global scale, PLMA organises the World of Private Label International Trade Show in Amsterdam each May and the U.S. Private Label Trade Show in Chicago each November. Both shows are leaders in their category and offer complimentary participation to verifiable retailers and wholesalers.

Keeping up with the latest trends, solving industry-wide challenges, and helping retailers and wholesalers to network with manufacturers is the focus of PLMA’s annual conferences. PLMA’s Annual Private Label Summit in Europe is held in October and PLMA’s Annual Meeting & Leadership Conference in the U.S. is held in March.
