FMS Highlights from The NGA Show 2026 in Las Vegas
The NGA Show 2026 in Las Vegas brought together thousands of independent grocers, retailers, and food industry professionals for one of the year’s most important grocery industry events.
Held at the MGM Grand Conference Center, this year’s NGA Show welcomed more than 3,500 food and beverage professionals and featured 300+ exhibitors, making it one of the largest gatherings focused on the independent grocery sector. Over three days, attendees participated in 40+ educational sessions and heard from 100+ industry speakers covering the latest grocery trends, financial strategies, and operational best practices.
For FMS, The NGA Show 2026 was an opportunity to connect directly with independent grocers and showcase how data-driven insights drive smarter decisions and improve profitability—powered by solutions such as Profit HoundTM, FMS WorkhappyTM, FMS Track-ItTM, and our managed accounting service, Sirius Companion.

Throughout the show, the FMS team engaged with retailers from across the country, discussing key challenges and opportunities in today’s grocery landscape. Conversations centered around:
- Data-driven decision making in retail operations
- Grocery store profitability and margin improvement
- Financial benchmarking for independent grocers
The high level of engagement highlighted a growing demand for actionable financial insights—and reinforced FMS’s role as a trusted partner.
