An EASY and FAST Way to Find NEW Products at the Fancy Food Show
The program is simple and free for both attendees and exhibitors:
Buyers (Distributors, retailers/foodservice) tell Fancy Food Show staff the top product categories they need to see.
Fancy Food Show staff selects exhibitors who match the buyer’s criteria and arrange a schedule of appointments.
Exhibitors are prepped so they’re ready to do business.
At the show, buyers man a table and meet with exhibitors meet in a series of 10-minute appointments.
Everyone involved saves time and benefits from quality meeting time outside of the bustle of the show floor!
