East Coast Produce Expo 2027

The 2027 event takes place at Fontainebleau Miami Beach in Miami Beach, Florida.

The published audience includes growers, suppliers, and retail and foodservice participants.

It is most useful for East Coast growers, suppliers and retail and foodservice buyers who want senior-level conversations, since the program includes a first look at The Packer and Farm Journal Fresh Trends Consumer Report and draws sourcing, distribution, retail and foodservice decision-makers plus national buyers. Sellers who need a very large show floor, or operators outside the East Coast produce chain, would get less from it, as the organizer itself describes a smaller, intimate event.

Attendees at produce industry expos usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt or a blazer, with a polished look for evening receptions. Miami Beach in late January is mild, so light layers suffice, and comfortable shoes help at the Fontainebleau.
