What’s New in 2012?
Lots… To begin with, FMI will be co-locating and partnering with the American Meat Institute (AMI), The United Fresh Produce Association (UFPA) and the National Association of State Department of Agriculture (NASDA) to host one large tradeshow. This show will encompass nearly a million square feet of exhibit space.

Who Exhibits?

Companies that seek to reach every important decision maker in the food retailing and wholesaling industry. This is your opportunity to showcase your products, services and equipment. More than 600 exhibitors, including manufacturers of food, nonfoods, equipment and technology attend the FMI 2012.

Better than the phone, better than e-mail, better than a website, FMI2012 puts you in touch with more than 5,000 food distribution retailers, person to person. They want to know you, your products and services, and your perspectives on their customers, plus they’re eager to discover new merchandising ideas.

More cost-effective than sales calls, FMI2012 puts you in direct contact with receptive prospects by the thousands. “Seeing new products and developments” ranks as their No. 1 reason for attending the show.

FMI2012 attracts top decision-makers from the full spectrum of the food industry, offering the chance to extend your reach and expand into wholly new-to-you markets. You'll meet prospects not only from national- and regional-chain supermarkets, distributors, and wholesalers, but also from consumer outlets with emerging importance and potentially powerful impact: convenience stores, drugstores, gourmet shops, ethnic- and natural-food stores, wholesale clubs, and institutional food services such as military commissaries. They’ll all gather at this event in Dallas—making FMI2012 the one place to reach multitudes.

Nearly 40% of these people with purchasing power are “first-time shoppers” at FMI; these fresh faces on the scene translate to untapped prospects who want to meet you and learn what you have to offer. To make a good first impression, you first need to be there.
