Launched in January, the program was designed to fast-track leadership development and create space for new, forward-thinking perspectives from across the industry.

More than 7,000 business appointments were conducted during the three-day event, with nearly 50 manufacturers and emerging brands showcasing products. 

Shoppers say taste and value guide nearly every choice, while conveniences like quick prep or resealable packaging make it easier to branch out and try something new.

The Refrigerated Food Hall of Fame was established in 2010, to recognize individuals whose passion and leadership have advanced the refrigerated foods industry.

The second annual contest spotlights emerging brands reshaping the frozen and refrigerated aisles.

Social platforms like TikTok, YouTube and Instagram are now key sources of inspiration for younger shoppers, while traditional in-store promotions remain the most effective tool for influencing purchase decisions across all demographics.

Conducted in partnership with Morning Consult, the study found that GLP-1 users are creating new opportunities for retailers and manufacturers to meet evolving consumer needs.

Over 1,700 anticipated attendees will conduct more than 6,500+ business meetings over the course of three days, efficiently maximizing time spent at the convention.

The competition, launched last year, continues to spotlight innovative and standout brands in the frozen and refrigerated food categories, recognizing exciting new products entering the market.

With March Frozen Food Month here, it’s the perfect time to explore everything frozen has to offer.
