PFMA Fall Legislative Conference 2026

The conference is held in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Published audience categories include retailers and wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers, lottery and gaming companies, and business services firms.

It is most useful for executives at Pennsylvania grocers, convenience store chains, wholesalers and suppliers who want to follow state-level legislative and regulatory issues, since the host is the Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association and sponsors include Wegmans Food Markets, Rutter's, Karns Foods and Wakefern Food Corp. Manufacturers, distributors and lottery and gaming companies are also named as attendees, so it suits relationship-building with retailers; companies with no Pennsylvania footprint, or those wanting a large product expo, would get less from it.

Attendees at state trade association and legislative conferences usually wear business casual to business professional, with suits or blazers common for sessions with lawmakers.
