Americas Food & Beverage Show & Conference 2026 to celebrate 30th anniversary in Miami

For three decades, AF&B has served as a premier meeting point for manufacturers, distributors, retailers, importers, exporters and buyers from across the Americas and beyond. Since its founding, AF&B has grown from a regional trade event into one of the industry's most significant international gatherings, drawing over 1,000 exhibitors and buyers from 120+ countries and welcoming more than 10,000 attendees each year.

Over 30 years, the show has helped thousands of small and medium-sized businesses expand into new markets, forge lasting trade relationships and grow from local brands into global players. Ivan Barrios, president and CEO at WTCM, said: “This 30th anniversary is a milestone worth celebrating, but it's also a reminder of why this show exists. Over three decades, AF&B has stayed true to its mission of helping small and medium-sized businesses find real opportunities to grow internationally, and that mission is more important today than ever.”

The 2026 edition will honour the show's history while expanding its programming, with an enhanced Center Stage and Beverage Stage line-up, an expanded Conference Program addressing tariffs, FDA compliance and international logistics, and special 30th anniversary programming and networking events to be announced in the coming weeks. Registration and Exhibitor information are available at AF&B's website.
