A New Way to Connect at The NGA Show

Fresh Pitches Logo

Fresh Pitches is an all-new addition to The NGA Show – transforming how retailers and suppliers connect.  

We’re moving away from traditional meeting formats and creating space for quick, high-value conversations. Fresh Pitches is designed to be fast-paced and engaging, helping you make meaningful connections without the hassle of pre-scheduled appointments.

How Does it Work?

Fresh Pitches takes place in the Connections Hub, a central location on the show floor that’s buzzing with energy and activity.​

Unlike traditional meetings, this program is a structured speed networking event with a series of timed, focused conversations.  
These short conversations are just the right length to make a connection, share a quick pitch, and determine if there’s an opportunity for further conversation.
Following the speed networking conversations, participants can continue networking in a relaxed, social setting, creating time for deeper engagement.

Benefits to You

Built around the idea that networking should be flexible and focused, Fresh Pitches gives retailers the chance to explore new products and ideas in a low-pressure environment and sponsors direct access to decision-makers who are open to discovering fresh solutions. The format intentionally encourages authentic interaction and makes it easier to identify promising opportunities. 

It’s not just a meeting, it’s a movement toward a more dynamic and human approach to business relationships.
