Summer Fancy Food Show 2020 canceled due to coronavirus

Citing the " national and global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, associated travel restrictions, and the Javits Center’s critical service in fighting the pandemic that impacts the facility’s availability, " the SFA said its immediate priority is to guide exhibitors and registered attendees through a process of receiving refunds or credits. Registered attendees should be on the lookout for an email about a refund, while exhibitors should also expect an email inviting them to "identify your preference for a credit or refund." “Our legacy is one of connecting the global specialty food industry – makers, buyers and distributors – and we’re assessing ways to create an engaging environment for that, outside of the Fancy Food Show," said SFA President Phil Kafarakis. To that end, the SFA is " evaluating alternative formats for later in the year that would help its members maintain their business footing during these unprecedented times." Read more HERE .
