The Meet The Press deck and the attendee directory will only be accessible through the CrowdCompass site- make sure you have your brand included!
Why sponsor?
1) It’s a remarkably cost-effective way to get your brands in front of the foodservice editorial community and industry thought leaders.
2) It opens doors to partnering with fellow publicists on joint promotions, recipe development, editorial placements and more.
3) No other foodservice sponsorship venue offers an editorial environment that’s as receptive and welcoming as ours. IFEC is all about members sharing their food and beverage products, ideas and information with fellow members.
4) Without member/sponsor support, IFEC would not be possible.
