FAQs

What can I find in the PLMA 2026 Attendees List?
Attendee names, job titles, companies and industries, plus business contact details where available.
When and where does PLMA 2026 take place?
It takes place on 15 – 17 November 2026 at Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, United States. Frequency: Annual.
How large is the event?
The latest figures list 20,000+ Visitors, 1,900+ Exhibitors. The PLMA 2026 Exhibitors List and Attendees List are built from these participants.
Which companies exhibit at the show?
Exhibitors include food and drink producers, ingredient suppliers, equipment makers and distributors from the Food & Beverages sector.
Who visits the show?
Visitors include retail buyers, importers, distributors, foodservice operators and procurement teams.
Can I buy exhibitor and attendee data together?
Yes. Both lists can be ordered separately or as one dataset.
Can I narrow the list to specific roles?
Yes. Records can be filtered by job function, seniority, industry, company size and country.
Will the complete list be available after the event?
Yes. The full list is prepared the day after the event ends (15 – 17 November 2026).
How can I use the PLMA 2026 Attendees List?
Sales teams use it to book meetings before the doors open, marketing teams build invitation and follow-up campaigns, and account managers check which existing customers are planning to attend. Records can be grouped by role and company size so each team works only with the contacts that matter to it.
How is the data delivered?
Lists are delivered as a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) that can be imported into common CRM and marketing tools. Each record keeps the company, the contact, the role and the link to the event, so segments can be rebuilt at any time.
When should I start outreach?
Most teams start four to six weeks before the opening day, when buyers are planning their visit and agendas are still open. A second wave during the show and a follow-up in the week after it usually bring the best response.
How recent is this event data?
Last updated November 3, 2026.
Why are event contacts more responsive than a general industry list?
Because exhibitors and visitors plan their participation weeks in advance, contact data gathered around the event is current, and it points to companies with active projects and budgets in the Food & Beverages sector.
