The NACS Show is the annual trade show of the National Association of Convenience Stores, drawing 25,000+ convenience retail operators, fuel retailers, and consumer goods suppliers to the Las Vegas Convention Center. The four-day event features 1,200+ exhibitors presenting food and beverage products, snacks, candy, tobacco alternatives, fuel and energy products, technology, equipment, and retail services. The NACS Show floor is one of the most sampling-intensive in the retail industry — product tasting and live demonstrations are standard practice at virtually every booth. Buyers include c-store chain operators, independent convenience retailers, petroleum marketers, and wholesale distributors.
Quick Facts
Attendees include convenience store chain operators and buyers, independent c-store owners, fuel retailers and petroleum marketers, wholesale distributors, and food and beverage brand managers evaluating c-store placement.
The NACS Show occupies the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South and Central halls, with the full exhibit floor and education programming across multiple levels of the campus.
NACS 2026 expands its better-for-you snack and beverage categories, EV charging technology, and digital retail experience sections alongside traditional c-store food service and tobacco categories.
Where the NACS Show Takes Place
The NACS Show is held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) in the Paradise neighborhood adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. The LVCC campus spans 4.6 million square feet across its South, Central, and North halls, connected by the campus’s internal transit system and enclosed walkways. The NACS Show uses the South and Central halls primarily, with registration at the main lobby on Paradise Road. The Westgate Las Vegas Resort sits directly across from the LVCC’s main entrance, and the convention center is accessible via the Las Vegas Monorail from Strip hotels at the LVCC station.
Navigation Tips
The LVCC’s South and Central halls are connected via the enclosed campus walkway — staff moving between hall assignments should allow 10–12 minutes for cross-hall transit during peak show hours. The LVCC Monorail station on the east side of the campus is the fastest access from Strip hotels; rideshare drop-off on Paradise Road is the most direct vehicle approach. NACS’s four-day format with sampling on the floor means staff need to plan for high physical energy output throughout each day — rotation schedules and hydration breaks built into your staffing plan prevent afternoon drop-off.
Why Las Vegas-Based Booth Staff Matter for the NACS Show
NACS is one of the most physically demanding show floors in the trade show calendar — four days of continuous sampling, visitor engagement, and lead capture in a fast-moving consumer goods environment requires staff who can maintain energy and brand presence from morning open to afternoon close, every day. Las Vegas-based TSM staff are experienced with the LVCC’s convention scale and the consumer goods sampling events that run through this venue year-round. Local staff eliminate travel costs on a four-day show and can be on-site for the full schedule without the fatigue that compounds when out-of-market staff travel across time zones. TSM’s Las Vegas roster depth means same-day replacements are routine — essential on a show this long.
Exhibiting Tips for NACS Show 2026
At NACS, sampling is not optional — c-store buyers make placement decisions based on product taste, packaging, and margin, and all three require a direct product experience, not a brochure. Staff your sample station continuously and never let it go cold or empty; a depleted sampling station signals low-demand to every buyer walking past your aisle. Lead capture at NACS should record the buyer’s chain size, number of locations, and geographic territory — a regional c-store chain with 50 locations is a very different account than an independent with three. Brief your TSM team on your product’s margin structure and planogram fit, since c-store buyers evaluate new placements against space productivity, not just product quality. Day 3 (Thursday) at NACS typically has the most concentrated senior buyer traffic as chain-level executives make their floor visits after attending conference sessions earlier in the week — keep your booth staffed and energized through the full schedule.

Why Our Clients & Models Trust Us

I had to take the time to post this review. Simply stated, the TSM Agency is the best model staffing agency we have ever worked with. Our account executive, Caryn, was prompt and professional. We only had two days to staff two models. We came to an agreement and had our models in the same day I initially contacted them.

The TSM Agency is our go to model staffing company. Our account executive is so easy to work with and knows the industry inside and out. But what really separates TSM from the other companies we have worked with in the past are their models. TSM Agency trade show models are just the best. When you talk to the girls you can tell TSM treats them well and that they are very loyal to the agency. The girls always come prepared and on time. They are a joy to work with and their smiles are infectious! I can’t say enough. It makes me very happy to see our competitors enviously looking at us because our trade show models are doing such a great job and our booth is always packed.

Keila and Kirsten were exactly what we were looking for from our trade show models. For our previous show we flew a couple of employees to work the show and, no offense to them, we will never do that again. Professional models were far better at generating leads for us; the entire reason we did this event is Las Vegas. Our models were well prepared, dressed professionally, kept up an amazing energy during every day of the show and help us demo our products. Caryn, our TSM Agency account executive, did an amazing job and provided the perfect models.

Thank you TSM Agency! We have never received so many leads as we did this year at the World of Concrete Show. Our models were great and we want to staff the same girls next year. They performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you TSM!
