Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont (Chicago), will find some new features, including a “Top Ten All Natural Product Lounge”, an app for smartphones and tablets that includes useful information about the show, a contest among the exhibitors and a secret shopper contest designed to award exhibitors.

Other popular returning features include the New Exhibitor Area, the All-Industry Networking Party, The Idea Wall, the Product Innovations area and the Celebration of Style Grooming Competition.
