So in the last few days we have seen the Miami importer community and Wffsa both announce new programs.
The AFIF organization has decided to hold an event in June that will highlight the benefits of Miami based companies. I am told it is not a trade show.
Wffsa is changing some of its’rules regarding who can attend and offering incentives to attract more wholesalers to the FDC in October.
Over the last several years there has been a growing concern amongst importers that Wffs and its FDC program is too open to nonmembers and others. This appears to be the inspiration behind the latest move by the importers.
It will be interesting to see how this affects attendance at either event. Good luck to all.
