The Food Trends Experience
The Food Trends Experience is a unique opportunity for food trend aligned companies to gain exposure and come face-to-face with the Northeast foodservice community who is specifically searching for products that fit the latest trends.
This new forum takes food purveyors outside the traditional tradeshow booth set up and presents brands in a new cost-effective, high-impact, professional environment promoting food trends. Learn More.
The Show brings together leading professionals from throughout the Northeast with the primary focus on the New York metropolitan area including New York, Westchester and Fairfield Counties, Northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Act fast and reserve your space today for your opportunity to be part of the 2013 Show from March 3-5.
