The atmosphere is relaxed and approachable, while delivering tremendous value for retailers and exhibitors alike.The MAHO Expo features a carefully curated show floor that encourages quality interaction between retailers and exhibitors.

Companies interested in reaching independent retailers throughout the Midwest and beyond are encouraged to reserve space while availability remains.Education remains a cornerstone of the MAHO experience. The weekend will feature cutting-edge educational programming presented by respected industry leaders, providing retailers with practical information, emerging trends, and innovative solutions to help their businesses grow and better serve their customers.MAHO's exhibitors and industry partners, including Taste For Life/Remedies, Vitamin Retailer Magazine, and WholeFoods Magazine, continue to promote the event through direct mail, digital marketing, social media, product shipments, and personal outreach to retailers nationwide.The three-day format includes educational sessions, networking opportunities, special events, and two dedicated trade show days, allowing retailers and exhibitors ample time to connect, conduct business, and build meaningful partnerships.As part of MAHO membership, registered retail attendees will once again enjoy complimentary meals throughout the weekend, graciously provided by MAHO's loyal exhibitor partners, making the event both affordable and rewarding for independent retailers.Whether attending for the outstanding education, valuable networking opportunities, exclusive purchasing incentives, or the renowned Midwestern hospitality, retailers continue to regard the MAHO Expo as one of the industry's most enjoyable and productive events.Companies interested in exhibiting in the New Exhibitor Showcase and retailers wishing to attend are encouraged to register early.For registration information, exhibit space availability, hotel reservations, or attendee badges, please contact Marcy or Diane at the MAHO Office:MAHO – Mid American Health OrganizationPhone: 800-795-6246Email: marcy@maho4health.orgEmail: diane@maho4health.orgAbout MAHOFounded in 1975, MAHO (Mid American Health Organization) is the Midwest's leading trade association serving the independent natural products industry.
