Food Processing Suppliers Association Reinventing Trade Show to Better Serve Food Processors

Food Processing Suppliers Association Reinventing Trade Show to Better Serve Food Processors
Mayo 23, 2011
Guided by a committee of food industry suppliers, the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) is reinventing Process Expo.  While the show has always been a supplier owned and managed event, staff, the Board of Directors, and its Show Committee are taking new approaches based on feedback from suppliers and their food processor customers regarding the ideal trade show for exhibitors and attendees.  Among these changes are a biennial format, competitive registration fees, and a centralized location.
 
The Food Processing Suppliers Association and its predecessor associations have been offering trade shows to the food industry for more than 100 years. These supplier-owned and managed trade shows had a variety of names and were offered in numerous venues. But they were guided by the same principles that characterize the new Process Expo .
 
Over time, these shows evolved and merged to become Process Expo , owned and managed by the suppliers who make up the Food Processing Suppliers Association.
