New Exhibitor Showcase Space Still Available

MAHO – Mid American Health Organization
Dublin, Ohio

The MAHO Board of Directors and Staff are pleased to announce another exciting year for the 2026 MAHO “Summer Splash” Convention and MAHO Expo, taking place July 24-26, 2026, at the Hilton Columbus at Easton in Columbus, Ohio.

For more than five decades, MAHO has remained the Midwest’s premier trade association dedicated to the ideals and success of the independent retail segment of the Natural Products Industry. Representing independent retailers, manufacturers, distributors, brokers, and industry service providers, MAHO continues to provide a unique environment where meaningful relationships, education, and business growth thrive.

Known for its modest size and welcoming atmosphere, the MAHO Expo offers a refreshing alternative to larger national trade shows. Many attendees describe the event as an “old home weekend” for the natural products industry—a place where like-minded professionals reconnect, share ideas, and build lasting relationships. 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. Attendees enjoy direct access to company representatives, product education, and exceptional buying opportunities through exclusive show specials and pricing offered by participating vendors.

In addition to the main exhibit hall, space remains available in MAHO’s New Exhibitor Showcase, designed specifically to introduce retailers to emerging brands and companies making their MAHO debut. 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.
