What Is PLMA?

PLMA's Annual Private Label Trade Show is the Private Label Manufacturers Association's North American event for store brands. It is held each November at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, near Chicago O'Hare, and connects retailers, wholesalers and other buyers with makers of food, beverage and nonfood private label products. The 2026 edition runs 15-17 November and is separate from PLMA's World of Private Label show held each May in Amsterdam.

The PLMA 2026 Exhibitors List and Attendees List from VisitorsList give you business contacts from both groups.

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.

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.

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.

Last updated November 3, 2026.
