2008 Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (Chicago)
October 25, 2008 - October 28, 2008Few groups have more influence over the way Americans eat than the 67,000 members of the American Dietetic Association (ADA), sponsors of the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE). The event continues to expand – attracting a wider audience of professionals, including hotel and restaurant managers, sports, health and nutrition professionals, and executive chefs.
This is your premier selling opportunity of the year. When these leaders want the latest information on emerging developments in the fields of nutrition and food service management, they attend FNCE.
More than 12,000 professionals will be looking for the latest technological and nutritional advancements. In addition to conference sessions presented by leading authorities, the Expo is an integral part of this unparalleled educational opportunity.
FNCE attendees search for a wide range of solutions at the Expo. Imagine if you meet with only 5% of this audience – that’s face-to-face contact with over 600 buyers a day, for three straight days. Take a look along the bottom of each page for a listing of the products and services FNCE attendees told us they wanted to see most at the Expo.
