June 28-30, 2026 | Javits Center, NYC | Booth Location #4916
The Summer Fancy Food Show is one of the most important moments of the year for specialty food, where emerging brands get discovered, relationships are built, and real opportunities begin to take shape.
Naturally Network will be onsite, bringing together emerging brands, partners, and community members in a way that supports connection, visibility, and forward momentum.
With a strong presence across the show floor, our goal is to create a space where conversations happen more easily, brands feel supported, and the right people are able to find each other.

[PANEL] Beyond the Pitch – Decoding Retailer Priorities in a Constrained Market
🗓️ Sunday, June 28 🕕 12:45 - 1:15 pm ET 📍Big Idea Stage
In a market defined by tighter margins, disruption, and shifting consumer behavior, the path to retail success has changed. Strong branding and a compelling pitch are no longer enough. Buyers are looking for brands that can operate, adapt, and deliver.
This session cuts through the noise to explore what’s actually driving decision making right now. We’ll unpack how buyers are evolving their criteria, what brands need to demonstrate beyond the pitch, and how to navigate a more constrained and competitive landscape.
Key areas of focus include:
How to communicate value when retailers are focused on risk and performance
What retail readiness really looks like in today’s environment
Why relationships and community still matter in a data driven world
Where tools like AI can support efficiency, and where they fall short
Featuring:
Shannon Rosiak, Director of Fresh Category Management, KeHE
Glenn Cunningham, Sr. Director of Center Store, Village Super Market
Krystal Dawson, Vice President, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Lead, NIQ (Moderator)
