History

Now in its 55th year, the convention and exhibit attracts attendees from across the United States, in addition to an international audience.

The focal point of ACE is the two-day trade show featuring over 100 suppliers to the vending, office coffee and food service industry. Utilizing the Myrtle Beach Convention Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the exhibit attracts all the major industry suppliers of product, equipment and services.

A quality education program that addresses the most pertinent industry issues runs in conjunction with the exhibit and a training school for maintenance on machines is in its second year.

Each evening there are social events with an opportunity for further networking with peers. These events are held at popular Myrtle Beach attractions and are open to all registered attendees for the low, low registration fee.
If recreational activities are of interest, there is a golf tournament, a Volleyball Tournament, NASCAR speed racing and the popular miniature golf tournament. All of these events are available for participation or cheering on the participants.

Known as the convention that offers exhibitors the best return on investment, ACE is a family-oriented event which welcomes participation by operators and suppliers from all across the country.
