Two weeks before the start of Fancy Food 24/7, taking place September 27 through October 8, a preview period for buyers will commence on September 13. During the two weeks leading up to the show, which will feature virtual showrooms and educational sessions, buyers will be permitted to explore exhibitors' specialty food products, request samples, and set up meetings.
“The preview period will allow members of our buying community extra time to explore Fancy Food 24/7 and make more connections," said Leo Squatrito, vice president of events and member development for the Specialty Food Association.
