NICA Marketplace

The organiser, the National Independent Concessionaires Association, holds the fifth annual NICA Marketplace, themed Together, from Sunday 8 to Wednesday 11 November 2026 at the Tuscany Suites and Casino, 255 E. Flamingo Rd., Las Vegas, Nevada 89169. The organiser says you will network with colleagues over 48 hours.

The organiser names business owners and managers, fair industry leaders and trade show exhibitors. It lists a non-exclusive trade show, educational sessions led by hands-on event industry thought leaders and networking opportunities, described as welcome and comfortable, for people who are customers of each other.

According to the organiser, the member registration rate is $199, which it says is the same as last year; check the organiser's page for the current registration terms. Becoming a trade show exhibitor costs $1,195. When registering you can add or become a new NICA member for $125 and also get the member rate, which the organiser says saves $80 in total.

The organiser lists an $85 room rate at the Tuscany Suites and Casino from Sunday 8 to Thursday 12 November, with no resort fee. Rooms are suite sized with kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi and parking are free. The hotel is six blocks off the Strip on Flamingo Road, six minutes from Harry Reid International Airport.

The organiser says the content focuses on industry relationships, using effective communication, benefits, education, leadership and solutions. The aims include sharing what is working in the fair community, placing manufacturers and suppliers in front of business owners, showcasing commercial exhibitors and sharing tips and trends.

The organiser lists the NICA Business Expo and Fare Foods Food Show in February, the Florida Federation of Fairs Convention in May, and NICA Marketplace and, separately, the IAFE Convention in November. Its site names sister organisations IAFE, WFA, IAAPA, IISA, OABA and CAFE, and says NICA is celebrating its 33rd year.
