We at CIFT are excited to invite you to the 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show, which will take place at the Javits Convention Center in New York City, from June 29 to July 1, 2025! This premier event is an incredible opportunity to showcase your brand, connect with buyers, and expand your market reach through the Specialty Food Association’s Incubator Village.
