Supplier Spotlight Display in Hospitality - Stop by Anytime
60 minutes

Kick off the session in style! During the entire week, we’ll feature Supplier Spotlights, a showcase where participating suppliers can spotlight one standout product (shelf-stable products or packaging only) for buyers to check out and vote on their favorites. It’s free to participate for suppliers, and a great way to spark conversations and get your brand noticed right from day one. Buyers, be sure to stop by to check out and vote on the featured products throughout the reception!

The BAM Blueprint - Turning Sponsorships into Sales
20 minutes

Wednesday, April 22nd | 8:00 AM - 8:20 AM
 

In a 2026 marketplace saturated with omnichannel noise, the most critical gap for a brand to bridge is the "Last Mile." Traditional awareness is no longer enough; sales velocity is the only victory lane that matters. Join the leadership of Brand Activation Maximizer (BAM) for a strategic masterclass on the BAM Blueprint TM—a proprietary "Sponsorship-to-Sales" architecture designed to transform consumer passion into measurable momentum across every vertical.

Our Blueprint connects high-emotion triggers—such as a NASCAR pit stop or a mobile marketing unit —directly to the professional kitchen and the shopper's countertop.
