2. Exposure - It’s the networking oportunity of the year!
The Show attracts the top talent in the industry, and they’re looking
for new resources and partners to help their businesses grow. By
exhibiting you’ll have access to the industry’s largest assembly of
decision makers and professional resources from food distribution
to equipment manufacturers and suppliers to technology leaders.
3. Exposure - It’s the place to make
the biggest splash!
The Show is the place where the Michigan hospitality and
foodservice industry converges. If you have one opportunity to do
one industry event this year, make sure you exhibit at the Show! No

industry, you’ll find a connection. Get more bang for your marketing
buck, create a presence at the Show.
