About
 
Our purpose is to provide an intermediary through which operators and suppliers of ice cream and fast food establishments may promote improvements in their industry through research and study and through the dissemination of information on methods of sanitation, quality of products and efficient operations to the mutual benefit and protection of the public; to acquire, exchange, interpret and disseminate market, statistical, economic and industry information; to promote and stimulate the sale of food products through these outlets; to represent its members in any matters in which trade association representation is required or considered necessary; and to do whatever may be incidental or necessary to accomplish these goals.

Together our goal is to promote a stronger industry by sharing ideas, problems, and mutual concerns. With your support and involvement we will grow even stronger!

Reasons Trade Shows are Essential

    Speed up the selling process and puts you in touch with new buyers
    Best way to introduce a company’s newest products and services
    Most efficient way for buyers to take the purchasing process one step closer to a decision
    Expand and protect market territory
    Demonstrate products and educate buyers
    Build image and awareness

Trade Shows Save Time and Money

An average of only 1.6 personal follow-up sales visits is needed to close a sale originating from a trade show contact vs. 3.7 visits are required to close a non-show lead.  It costs 22% less to contact a potential buyer at a show than it does through traditional field sales calls.

Convention Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsoring events at the annual convention and trade show is a terrific way to support the ice cream and fast food industry and showcase your company to retailers and distributors. Opportunities range from making an impact with a major event to reaching a niche market with your message. Opportunities are sold on a first-come, first-serve basic.
