What’s happening
The official 2026 floor plan has been published, giving attendees an early look at how big this year’s expo footprint is — and who’s showing up. The floor is loaded with familiar heavyweights plus a long list of brands that are treating the weekend like a product launch Super Bowl.
Why the buzz is real
The expo has been climbing year-over-year since the post-pandemic return, but this year’s layout is being framed as one of the busiest yet. Translation: more booths, more traffic lanes, more brand activations, and more time needed to cover it all.
Who’s showing up
The early chatter highlights a mix of:
Big sports nutrition names
Functional food and beverage brands
Classic “expo culture” activations (the kind that create lines, noise, and nonstop content)
And yes — the usual magnet attractions are back.
How to use the floor plan like a pro
Build a short list of must-hits before you arrive
Use exhibitor search to map out your route
If you’re shopping new brands, hit them early (stock and giveaways disappear fast)
