endorsed the event recognizing the need for a Foodservice and
Lodging Industry Show in North Carolina.
“We are very excited to offer a foodservice and lodging tradeshow for
the North Carolina hospitality industry. This has been a top request and
desire of the membership for the past several years and by partnering with
ExpoDevCo we can utilize their already existing foodservice show network
and expand on that to bring our statewide industry together for an all-inclusive annual event.”
