This new southeast/west geographic rotation pattern is the result of extensive member input including surveys conducted by AWMA’s Convention & Expo Committee and responds to the large portion of members who rated both Las Vegas and Orlando as their top choices for Show location.

The headquarter hotel for 2013 will be the Peabody Hotel, just a short walk directly across the street from the Orlando Convention Center, where the exhibits will be located. “The recent expansion at the Peabody provides enough sleeping rooms for all of our attendees under one roof and it is among the highest rated hotels in the country as a Forbes Four‐Star, AAA Four Diamond resort,” Ramminger added.

The AWMA Show is the premier event in the country that serves the specific business needs and interests of convenience store distributors. The Show includes nine hours of exhibits and more than 18 hours of education sessions on strategic issues, best practices and core categories as well as networking events throughout the show.
