Year after year this organization has held the NRA SHOW in which the main manufacturers of supplies, equipment, utensils, and others for the foodservice industry meet.

This exhibition is massive and has an impact throughout the world. Although the event takes place in the US, it has the presence of manufacturers from all over the world: Asia, Europe, Latin America, etc. It could be said that the world of food service sets its eyes on this event.

This year the NRA SHOW took place from May 21 to 24, at McCormick Place, Chicago, USA.

Why is this event so important?

The great brands of the industry present their technological advances, their new solutions for operators, and innovative ideas and demonstrate their best products that make them so recognized.

The event is attended to see the exhibition: fast food chains, distributors from all over the world, future entrepreneurs, prestigious chefs, etc. Truly the creme de la creme of all walks of this industry.

Being such a large event and with so many participants, it is almost impossible to see every one of the stands carefully, so it is preferable to focus on those that are of the utmost importance for your objectives.
