Food IndustryThe grocery industry's premier destination for innovation, Grocery NEXT 2026, will convene from August 24-26 at the Westin Lombard Chicago, IL.

The Grocery NEXT Advisory Board shaped the agenda to explore how to create a unified approach that brings efficiency, strong operations, personalized customer experiences, and clear performance tracking throughout the store.

Got questions?
Grocery NEXT 2026 in Chicago concentrates Food Industry professionals in one place, so your ads reach people already interested in your category instead of a broad, untargeted crowd.
Draw a geofence around Westin Lombard in Chicago and serve display, video, or CTV ads to the phones inside it — the same audience an exhibitor pays for, without the booth, travel, or staff.
Geofenced event campaigns tend to outperform standard display because the audience is already primed for your category. Run ads during the event, then retarget the same attendees afterward.
