First virtual Nisa Expo opens for business as retailers get first preview of event

These retailers now have full access to the site enabling them to browse stands, view the show agenda, book appointments with suppliers, evaluate the deals available and download product information.

For the remainder of the week, Nisa partners will be able to familiarise themselves with the virtual Expo so they are ready to navigate the site when the two-day event starts next Tuesday.

Additional supplier stands and Nisa service stands will be added throughout the course of the week with retailers encouraged to keep checking back for the latest developments.

Nisa events manager Jenny Potts said: “We appreciate this is a very different way of hosting our annual exhibition this year. So we felt it was really important to give everyone time to familiarise themselves with the platform and ensure that when the event starts, they’re comfortable with how it works, enabling them to have the best possible experience.”

The virtual Expo has a packed agenda which includes the unveiling of the latest store format for Nisa Express on Tuesday and panel discussions and category talks delivered jointly by Nisa and Co-op experts.

It will also host the annual awards ceremony which will recognise and celebrate some of the best Nisa retailers from the past 12 months. Retailers not yet registered for the event can sign up at:  www.nisaexpo.co.uk
