MEDIA / ADVERTISING:
The Professional Chefs Association works closely
with the media communities for our trade show’s
exposure. We also advertise in local industry trade
publications such as Restaurant Industry News.
Our staff collaborate and promote our trade shows
by ways of email blast and efax to our 60,000
member database of industry’s leading buyers:
Executive Chefs, General Managers, F&B
Directors and Purchasing Managers. Our staff will
also RSVP our attendees, do reminder calls and
utilize social media such as Blogging, Twitter and
Facebook, etc.
Our PCA Charities and Outreach programs are
most important to us. We help raise funds at our
show to benefit local charities, schools and
scholarship programs for the advancement of
culinary arts. So, by participating at our trade
show, you are helping us help those in need.
After 15 years of organizing PCA Trade Shows,
our experience and our unique marketing platform
gives us an edge above others. Our Trade Show
creates the perfect environment for you to meet
decision makers in our industry – buyers, vendors,
chefs, etc. I look forward to working with you in
making this a memorable event.
