Now Preheating: The NAFEM Show 2025

Atlanta will be dripping with even more Southern hospitality next year when The NAFEM Show comes to town Feb. 26-28.

As of press time, 566 exhibitors and about 20,000 attendees are expected to flock to the Georgia World Congress Center for the biennial get-together. Once there, whether decision-makers are seriously shopping for new products/providers, softly perusing for innovations or somewhere in between, the expansive show floor will have no shortage of hospitality solutions at the ready.

Making a return in 2025 is the What’s Hot! What’s Cool! Product gallery, which will include up to 75 products. Products must be new (introduced to the market after The NAFEM Show 2023) or a working prototype that’s not yet in the market, put to the test and meet at least one key value proposition: design (aesthetic impact), cost reduction (labor/time, energy, footprint, automation) and/or revenue generation. Featured products, along with education sessions will be announced as the show nears.

In mid-October, OneRepublic was announced as the entertainer for The NAFEM Party on Thursday, Feb. 27.

If You’re Going

Online registration opened in June and remains open through Feb. 25, but the cost doubles, from $50 to $100, starting on Feb. 6. Otherwise, onsite registration costs $150. No matter when or where you register, badge pickup occurs in Atlanta.
