The Summer Fancy Food Show 2026 concluded its New York edition on a high note, solidifying its status as a premier hub for international agricultural and food trade. Highlighting the global scale of the event, the exhibition featured an unprecedented number of international exhibitors, anchored by a massive Italian delegation occupying more than 320 booths across the show floors.
In this exclusive interview with Italianfood.net, Donato Cinelli, CEO of Universal Marketing, reported high levels of satisfaction, noting not only robust visitor traffic but also a significant increase in the quality of industry professionals and buyers in attendance. This year’s event was further elevated by a series of successful awards, sponsorships, and joint initiatives organized alongside strategic industry partners. Building on the commercial momentum generated during this successful New York run, the trade show is already preparing for its upcoming editions, with organizers looking to replicate these high-impact activities in San Francisco and back in New York next July.
