AFFI-CON is the premier event for frozen food and beverage makers, industry suppliers, and logistical partners. It brings together over 500 companies and 1,600+ attendees in a single location, allowing them to meet one-on-one to discuss current and future opportunities. While education sessions and networking events are woven into the week, this event is about actually doing business. The average attendee will have 20+ private business meetings that will lay the foundation for their year. If frozen foods are your business, AFFI-CON is a can’t miss event!
