We’ve just updated the list of foodservice open houses, product shows, and trade shows for 2023. You can find the updated list on the IFYA website, in the Froyo Resources section: https://internationalfrozenyogurt.com/resources/open-houses-trade-shows/
The Froyo Resources section is reserved for IFYA members who are registered users on our website. Be sure to sign up for your free IFYA membership to access the list.
Last year, most product shows and trade shows that were canceled in 2020 and 2021 resumed in person. However, many of the smaller open houses and product shows did not resume and have not announced dates for 2023. Some open houses are now by appointment only. Most of the froyo product shows occur in February and March on the East Coast and Midwest while the ones in California occur in the summer or early fall.
Our list includes open houses, product shows, and trade shows that might be of interest to those currently a part of or aspiring to join the frozen yogurt industry. These events highlight new products, new ideas, as well as provide access to suppliers, educational opportunities, and networking opportunities.
Open house sponsors include frozen yogurt machine manufacturers, foodservice distributors, and packaging companies. Open houses are generally free to attend but many require pre-registration, so be sure to check the sponsor’s website before attending.
Trade shows take place around the world and they are attended by foodservice professionals. Trade shows typically require registration and a badge fee. Some have restricted attendance and are not open to the general public.
We will continue to update the list of open houses and trade shows as we find out about new events and event changes. If you’d like to add an event to the list, please contact us at info@internationalfrozenyogurt.com
