Highest-Tech Vending Machines, Products and Technology

CHICAGO – Sept. 1, 2011 – The new age of vending has arrived, and the industry is taking its machines, products and technology on the road – kicking off in Boston on Sept. 12 – to showcase what the new consumer vending experience looks and feels like. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Prudential Plaza, 800 Boylston Street.
Dubbed “The Gratitude Tour” and sponsored by the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA), the traveling exhibit is designed to say “thank you” to loyal users of vending, especially Generation Y users (ages 18-29), who were shown in recent research to prefer vending over convenience stores and grocery/drug stores for snacks and cold beverages. Thousands of free products will be given away at the events.
