A Taste of the States - USA Pavilion at 2009 Americas Food & Beverage Show

 

USA Pavilion at the 2009 Americas Food & Beverage Show

 

November 9-10, 2009

 

Miami, Florida

 

We’re looking forward to another great show in the U.S.A. Pavilion at the Americas Food & Beverage show in 2009.  2008 had 4,000 qualified buyers from all over the world.  Exhibitors told us that the show would be better if it was held later in the year and two days long so the 2009 dates are November 9 and 10!

Highlights in 2009:

  • Carpet, draped table, 2 chairs, basic electricity, wastebasket and a custom company ID sign are all INCLUDED in your booth cost
  • The ECRM (Efficient Collaborative Retail Marketing ) program will be in place again with year with buyer/exhibitor meetings set up before show hours.
  • There were 4,000 qualified buyers (5,800 total attendance) at the 2008 show;  29% international and 71% domestic.  International companies represented included Brex America – Brazil, Walmart – South America, Walmart ,Carban, - Central America, Goya Foods, and Four Seasons Hotels.  Kraft Foods, SYSCO, Royal Caribbean Cruiselines, Marriott International, US Foodservice and ARAMARK were also in attendance.
  • Foreign Service Nationals were surveyed and the results are that international buyers are looking for a wide variety of U.S. food products.  Topping the list were nuts, snack foods and condiments, breakfast foods, frozen foods, all types of meats, fresh and canned fruits, a variety of dairy products, alcoholic beverages and juices and energy drinks.  Results, broken down by country are attached.
