The most influen- tial buying decision-makers from retail, foodservice, e-commerce and hospitality flock to the show each year to taste trends and do business. Registration is now open to the food in- dustry at www.fancyfoodshows.com. "Specialty foods are being purchased for every market, through all channels. The Winter Fancy Food Show will help shape what we all see on retail shelves and restau- rant menus throughout 2019," said Phil Kafarakis, President of the Specialty Food Association. "In a post-show survey last year, 80 percent of attendees reported that they plan to attend the show again. Clearly, we have fantastic B2B engagement, buyers from all segments will again be on hand in San Francisco to select products that wow consumers." Held at Moscone Center, the industry- only show will cover more than three and a half football fields of space – 200,000- plus square feet – with the latest in innova- tive and authentic specialty food products from across the U.S. and the globe. Atten- dees can expect 1,400 exhibitors showcas- ing 90,000 specialty food products at the show. Last year's show was described as "awesome," "fun," and a "great place to spot trends" by attendees. Show highlights include a full range of educational programming and events, in- cluding What's New, What's Hot: present- ing hundreds of on-trend products; Incubator Village: an expanded showcase for food incubators with new specialty food stars on hand to display their products at the earliest stage; SFA 7th annual Leader- ship Awards Ceremony honoring inspira- tional industry leaders and Super Sessions and Excite talks: innovative experts talk food, sustainability, commerce and food tech. New Brands on the Shelf features up- and-coming producers who are SFA Mem- ber Candidates, while Front Burner is a dynamic foodservice pitch competition judged by professionals from the industry. Educational areas on the show floor will once again highlight the latest trends and business ideas, and as always, the members of the Specialty Food Association will make a major food donation at show's end to a local food bank. The donation at this year's Winter Fancy Food Show will go to Feed the Hungry.
