The North Carolina Vending Association, founded in 1955, is the oldest independent vending association in the country. In that year, it was one of two trade organizations that launched the Carolinas Vending Convention. That event grew into the Atlantic Coast Exposition, which has been held annually for more than six decades.

Our members are saying Hiring and Retaining Employees is a HUGE challenge in our current environment. In the past, NCVA and ACE has shared resources from Catapult (formerly CAI) and we were excited to have  Linda Hunter and Summa Thompson of Catapult lead NCVA's educational session at this year's meeting to discuss hiring trends and pitfalls post-Covid. The session focused on how we got here, different ways of thinking about recruiting and how to retain employees. Catapult’s team of seasoned HR and business professionals help member companies address both immediate and long-term challenges through a library of resources, data-driven insights and expertise, and a dynamic member community.

The 2021 ACE Show Is Back
And the Theme Lives On:
Rock of ACEs

October 14-16, 2021
Embassy Suites at Kingston Plantation
Myrtle Beach, SC


The 2021 ACE Planning Committee has picked up where last year’s cancellation left off to prepare for a much anticipated in-person ACE 2021.  The group has decided to keep the original theme of  “Rock of ACEs”.

Patrick Shaw, ACE 2021 Chair states, “Our ACE team really missed having the opportunity to reconnect with everyone in 2020. As such, we are especially THRILLED to be moving forward with the plan to host ACE 2021 in October. Our theme this year will be, Rock of ACEs. We hope you’ll join us as we Turn the Page and get Back in the Saddle again! Please know that everyone’s safety will be our top priority for this event and that we plan to follow whatever guidance is applicable to our event, come October. We can’t wait to ROCK OUT with you in person!”

Booth sales are underway and operator registration has opened. Visit the ACE WEBSITE for more information! The ACE  education team is working to bring you yet another “can’t miss” program.  ACE 2021 will once again be held at the Embassy Suites Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach, SC and the show dates are October 14-16, 2021.   



Survey results from the Operators and Exhibitors alike over the years continue to praise the ACE team for its yearly growth, hotel venue, superb education and popular networking opportunities.  ACE 2021 will continue to provide that high-quality exposition that ACE attendees continue to come back for year after year and this year will be much needed after we have been apart for so long.
