Just about everyone who attended the event agreed that the 2024 NAMA Show in Dallas was the biggest gathering our industry has seen in a long time, if not the biggest ever. Beyond the expansive convention floor and large crowds, there was an unmistakable vibe – a clear change of direction, pointing to positive days ahead.
In this episode of Automatic Merchandiser’s Vending & OCS Nation, podcast host Bob Tullio takes listeners right to the convention floor, with multiple operator interviews (for some, their first NAMA Show) pertaining to the show vibe and the specific objectives that brought them to Dallas.
The episode features Dan Welch, Natalie Prince, Chip English, Dean Prather, Jerry Schreiner, Craig Lane, Anthony Cuccolo, Jim Evans, Joe Macchiarella, Kim Miros, Andy Owen, Rick Pavlic, Gaynell Malone and many more mentions – people and products.
Tullio also makes some observations of his own – five in this episode and five in the next and he urges listeners to weigh in with NAMA Show observations of their own by emailing him at bob@tulliob2b.com.
