Emerge CPG Pavilion at Summer Fancy Food: 6/29-7/1

I’m counting down the days until this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show—and I can’t wait to introduce you to the standout founders exhibiting in the EmergeCPG Pavilion!

For the second year in a row, I’m proud to host a vibrant, high-energy destination where 10 early-stage founders will showcase what’s possible when clarity, focus, and ambition collide. You’ll find us in the high-traffic location—Booth #5446—right in the heart of the action.

Thanks to my ongoing partnership with the Specialty Food Association, the Pavilion helps make exhibiting more accessible to emerging brands through discounted booth space. This year’s cohort includes several women- and minority-owned businesses—visionary founders driving meaningful change across our industry.

These are brands with purpose and founders building with conviction. I’m honored to support their growth—and can’t wait for you to meet them.
