LAS VEGAS — Attendees can find more than tobacco products at TPE 2023. The tradeshow, formerly the Tobacco Plus Expo, has been rebranded as Total Product Expo.

In addition to tobacco, alternative and tobacco-related exhibitors, TPE 2023 is expanding its show floor and focus to include new exhibitors that fulfill the independent retailer’s multi-category inventory needs. New categories include snacks, beverages, point of sale items, general merchandise, gifts and more products that serve the needs of convenience retailers, smoke shops and local distributors.

TPE 2023 will be held Feb. 22 through 24 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The show floor will be 30% larger compared to prior years and will feature a dedicated space for the new product categories.

“We are really pleased with the increasing success of TPE and are excited about the potential of our evolution to the Total Product Expo in 2023,” said Jason Carignan, president of Tobacco Media Group (TMG), the host company for TPE. “Every year we seek feedback from the show and have consistently heard attendees ask for category expansion so more business can get done in one shot. This year we are answering the call, giving our customers an array of new exhibitors with products that their customers want and need.”

Attendee registration opens in September. For more information, visit totalproductexpo.com. Companies interested in exhibiting can call Dawn Conger at 805-390-0126.

Tobacco Media Group is owned by Kretek International, Moorpark, Calif.
