They Said it Best
Hear what our exhibitors have to say about our trade shows.
The reward of meeting everyone and getting all of these great leads from being here on the floor and exposing our product to the world [has been extremely valuable].
It’s a great venue for us to market and promote both in a domestic trade show and an international trade show.
Today, we’ve grown from basically zero international sales to about 15 percent international sales. We’ve certainly enjoyed the show and have met a lot of buyers here since 2014. The America’s Food & Beverage Show is easy and convenient. The quality of people that attend is quite good.
We found that this is definitely our favorite show. We do a lot of other smaller shows around the country, but we find that the really important people are at this show and the people that can make decisions on the spot. We find that it’s necessary to be here.
