The National Automatic Merchandising Association is accepting speaker proposals for The NAMA Show 2027 through October 14.

The annual event will take place May 5-7 in New Orleans and is expected to draw more than 5,200 convenience services professionals.

The association is encouraging proposals from operators producing measurable business results, suppliers and technology innovators, and experts in retail and convenience services. Suggested topics include improving profitability, operational efficiency and customer experience.

Proposed sessions should address challenges and opportunities facing vending, micro market, pantry, office coffee service and other unattended retail operators.

NAMA is also seeking perspectives from professionals in healthcare, hospitality, higher education and retail who are incorporating unattended solutions into their operations. Topics can cover client relationships, operational optimization, service innovation, retail design and other strategies that support business growth. The intended audience includes business owners, operations directors, sales and marketing professionals, technology specialists and other decision-makers across convenience services.

NAMA will notify selected speakers during the first quarter of 2027.
