Foodservice Conference Buyer Sourcing Meetings

This unique opportunity, like speed dating, allows foodservice produce suppliers to connect face-to-face with foodservice operators and distributors, opening the door for more in-depth conversations in the future. For exhibitors, this is a great way to drive traffic to your booth.

Each participating supplier company will have 8-minute meetings with each participating buyer company. Space is limited and spots will be filled with an ultimate goal of including a diverse mix of produce suppliers and buyers.
