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.

Choose to participate in either of these sessions:

Monday, February 2, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Tuesday, February 3, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

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.
