Virtual Nisa Expo 2020 now open for previews

The Nisa Expo 2020 has today been opened to all registered Nisa partners to preview the first ever online held version of the two-day event next week.

Retailers who have confirmed their place at the event now have full access to the site enabling them to browse stands, view the full show agenda, book appointments with suppliers, peruse the deals available and download product information.


Nisa partners will be able to familiarise themselves with all the virtual expo has to offer ensuring they are prepared and ready to navigate the site and make the most of the event when it goes live.

Additional supplier stands and all Nisa services stands will be added throughout the course of this week with partners encouraged to keep checking back for developments and to plan their live experience on Tuesday 20th and Wednesday 21st October.

Nisa events manager Jenny Potts said: “We’re really excited to have reached this stage and to unveil the platform for Nisa partners so they can explore it ahead of the live event.

“We appreciate this is a very different way of hosting our annual exhibition this year and so we felt it was really important to give everyone time to familiarise themselves with the platform and ensure that when the event starts next week, they’re comfortable with how it works, enabling them to have the best possible experience.”

The virtual Expo has a packed agenda which includes the unveiling of the latest store format Nisa Express on Tuesday, panel discussions, category talks delivered jointly by Nisa and Co-op experts as well as the annual awards ceremony which will recognise and celebrate some of the best examples of Nisa partners from the past 12 months.

Partners not yet registered for the virtual Nisa Expo are encouraged to do via www.nisaexpo.co.uk

Consumers value ethics though 'sustainability needs to be competitively priced'

Consumers now want a greater commitment from retailers in cutting food waste, refilling stations, sustainable packaging, and partnering with social purpose organisations, states a recent research, which also highlights that a good majority (69 per cent) of younger consumers are more likely to shop with what they see as socially responsible retailers though price sensitivity still plays a crucial role.

According to the findings, published in Vypr’s Consumer Horizon Report, reducing food waste is the most important factor for the majority of UK consumers (29 per cent), especially for Gen Z women aged 18-24 (38 per cent). More than a third (37 per cent) of men aged 18-24 said they needed food storage advice. A similar number of women aged 18-24 (33 per cent) want meal kits with the exact amount of ingredients included for them to cut down on food waste.
