Your chance to meet one-on-one with a diverse group of buyers at our exclusive FLAVORS  OF CAROLINA show is here!  Join us April 1st in Concord for this unique reception  designed  to help bring awareness to your products and boost your sales. 

What is the Flavors of Carolina?  This event is an upscale food show where North Carolina  products are proudly on display.  As an exhibitor, this is your opportunity to showcase your  products and be discovered by retailers, distributors, restaurants, etc.  Be prepared to  provide samples, discuss pricing and ask the buyers how you can get your products into  their stores or on their restaurant’s menu.

For our exhibitors, we provide an elegant setting that takes this event beyond the typical  food show.  A buffet featuring North Carolina products as well as complimentary cocktails  entice guests to mingle and visit with you.  Your company will be featured in our Exhibitor  Directory and we’ll provide you with a complete list of all invited guests.  Prior to the show,  we will conduct a meeting with a retailer and representative from the food service sector.  We hope that you will plan to join in on this meeting for some useful information.  On  April  2, the NCDA&CS International Marketing Section will host an Ag Export Seminar.  You  can register for this event with your Flavors of Carolina 2019 application.  For more  information about the Ag Export Seminar click here

Who is invited?  Top officials and buyers from individual restaurants to foodservice  distributors to major grocery chains will attend.  Click to view list on page 2 of document.
