NFRA Convention 2026 (17–20 October | National Harbor, Maryland)
NFRA Convention 2026 is a highly focused business event for the frozen and refrigerated foods industry. Held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, the convention brings together retailers, manufacturers, sales agents, logistics providers, and suppliers from across the cold chain.
Unlike traditional trade shows, NFRA Convention 2026 is built around a customer business meeting format. Attendees schedule one-to-one meetings in advance, allowing dozens of targeted discussions to take place over just a few days. This structure makes the event one of the most efficient and commercially productive gatherings in the industry.
For wholesalers, manufacturers, and food traders, NFRA Convention 2026 offers direct access to key decision-makers within frozen and refrigerated food categories. It provides a valuable platform to review existing accounts, introduce new products, and develop new trading relationships in a structured and time-efficient setting.
Alongside the business meetings, the convention includes organised networking opportunities and product-focused events. These sessions support relationship building and offer additional exposure for brands operating within frozen and chilled food markets.
