The French Vending Association (NAVSA) has announced the return of the Vending Show event, which will take place from June 25 to 27,2025, at the Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles in Paris.
Social connections at the heart of the 2025 edition
This edition will be dedicated to social connections, highlighting the essential contribution of vending professionals.
Operators play a crucial role in creating enjoyable and shared moments within companies and public spaces. Building on this idea, Vending Show 2025 will be structured around three main themes: Innovation, Inspiration, and Influence, which will guide both the exhibition and the attendees’ experience.
This event will explore the latest market trends and innovations, the evolution of the sector and its players, as well as the challenges and opportunities they face. It will provide an opportunity to reflect collectively on how to respond to social and societal developments that are changing consumer behaviour and habits, and to adapt to the legal and regulatory shifts impacting business model.
Key highlights of the exhibition
- The Best Vending Supplier in France Contest and the Best Vending Machine Technician Contest
- General Assemblies of NAVSA (French Vending Association) with a Gala Cocktail
- «HR Meetings» with AKTO (skills centre for the wholesale sector) and the Social Law Department of the Confederation of wholesalers of France (CGF)
- Legal consultations with NAVSA’s partner law firm
- Meetings on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) sector with approved eco-organizations
- Industry round tables on key topics for the profession
- A special keynote speech by a prominent speaker offering an unconventional perspective
Participants will have the opportunity to explore solutions for environmental, food, and economic transitions, discover ways to enhance the consumer experience, and gain insights into sustainable and responsible business practices.
Additionally, discussions will cover the expansion of vending activities to align with new consumer habits and economic opportunities in a post-health and economic crisis context.
The event will also shine a spotlight on industry talent and expertise through national contests like the Best Vending Supplier in France and the Best Vending Machine Technician, emphasizing the importance of attracting new talent and revitalizing initial and ongoing training programmes to ensure the future of the profession.
Vending Show 2025 is a must-attend event for professionals in the sector and, more broadly, for all stakeholders shaping the present and future of vending services in France and beyond.
