ATTENDEES
The National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) is the national trade association for the entire convenience services industry, including the food and refreshment vending, coffee service and foodservice management industries, including on-site, commissary, catering, micro markets, pantry and unattended retail. Our membership is comprised of service companies, equipment manufacturers and suppliers of products and services to operating service companies.
Coffee Tea & Water 2023 will take place November 6-7 at the JW Marriott Indianapolis.
There are different categories of membership. Learn more about NAMA membership or contact NAMA Membership at [email protected].
You do not need to be a member of NAMA to attend, although pricing is considerably lower for members. Anyone involved in the coffee service, micro market, pantry, vending and unattended industries are welcome to attend CTW.
All pricing levels and detailed information is available on the registration page.
To receive the member rate, your company's NAMA membership must be paid through November 7, 2023. If you register as a member but your company's membership expires before November 7, 2023, you will be contacted to renew your membership or you will be charged the balance for the non-member rate at badge pick-up.

As a standard requirement for all our show exhibitors, it is necessary for you to carry general liability coverage from an insurance company in good standing with minimum policy limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. Insurance Coverage is not optional. This insurance must be in force during the lease dates of the event, November 4-8, 2023, naming National Automatic Merchandising Association, 1777 North Kent Street, Suite 1010, Arlington, VA 22209 as the certificate holder. The following must be named as additional insured: National Automatic Merchandising Association, GES, JW Marriott, & Tradeshow Logic.
If you do not have insurance, or you would rather not use your own insurance, (similar to when you rent a car – so that claims would not be filed against your policy), we have set up a program with Rainprotection Insurance through which your company may purchase compliant insurance instantly. The order form is located in the MYS Exhibitor Portal.
The exhibit hall will have complimentary WiFi, however, it is only intended for personal use. An order may be placed with the JW Marriott for wireless or wired internet. Please refer to the GES Service Manual.
