This year’s event promises a great line-up, with a 1:1 ratio of buyers to suppliers, allowing the opportunity to “build more profitable partnerships and discover fresh ideas for business growth.”
A lively 2924 schedule includes the Women’s Fresh Perspective Breakfast, the Produce Excellence in Foodservice Awards, the latest in foodservice data from Technonic, and the “most important 5.5 hours in the foodservice year – the expo.”
Specifically designed around produce in foodservice, the IFPA show in Monterey is known for its excellent presentations. The event brings operators, distributors, chefs/menu developers, K-12 school nutrition operators, retail foodservice buyers, growers/shippers, processors, and solution providers together at a single venue. Show organizers note that 2,200 people attend IFPA Foodservice “to connect, learn and do business…” and that “more than 80 percent make, influence or recommend purchases.”
More than 1,000 buyers attend “to find new products, menu ideas, and business solutions. They are operators (commercial and non-commercial, including educators, especially K-12), distributors, chefs and menu developers, travel/tourism and more,” the IFPA website notes.
Sellers include growers/shippers, processors, transportation and logistics companies, tech providers, and packaging solutions firms. The expo provides the time and place for exhibiting products and services, meetings with buyers, or sponsoring.
