Act Now! More attendees, more sales available at the Good Food Festival & Conference 

Last year, more than 5,000 people filled the halls of the UIC Forum during our Festival. With this new free admission incentive, we anticipate increased attendance and sales for exhibitors. 

Register now for an exhibit booth at the Midwest's oldest and largest Good Food Trade Show and Festival.

Sell, network and promote to wholesale, retail and institutional buyers at Friday's Good Food Industry Showcase and to consumers at Saturday's Good Food Marketplace.

Festival highlights include cooking demos from high profile chefs - including Rick Bayless - scheduled all day long at the Chef's at Play stage keeping attendees on the exhibit floor from start to finish. Check out our full list of Friday and Saturday programming to learn more.

50% discount for Band of Farmers: The Chicagoland CSA Coalition Members (use discount code "BOFMember2017" at checkout) - Limited spaces available on first come, first serve basis - Register here to exhibit in the CSA Pavilion. Not a CSA coalition member yet? Find out how to become one!
 
Each exhibit space includes: 
  • 6 by 8 foot (48 square foot) space
  • 6 foot table with tablecloth and 2 chairs
  • Listing in the Good Food Festival & Conference Show Directory and Website
  • Same-day admission for up to four representatives of your business

Other valuable benefits of exhibiting with us:
  • Receive year-round promotion through the Good Food Festival & Conference website, Festival directory and FamilyFarmed blog and newsletter.
  • Benefit from a dynamic marketing, public relations, and outreach team dedicated to driving extensive awareness and press coverage to the Festival and participating exhibitors.
  • At this year's Saturday Festival, Purple Asparagus will be hosting a Kid's Scavenger Hunt to promote balanced healthy meals. Kids will search the Exhibit Hall to find a farmer or producer that falls within each of the following categories -- Grains, Fruits & Vegetables, Dairy, and Meat/Beans -- and write the farmer's or producer's name on the form. Any child who turns in a completed form to the Purple Asparagus booth will receive a special goodie bag.  This is a great opportunity to attract more attention to your exhibit space!


The Good Food Festival & Conference helps connect financial resources to farms and Good Food businesses; helps grow local procurement capacity; engages local school districts; provides a forum to discuss local, statewide, and national food policy; and educates the public about the importance and impact of Good Food. Unique opportunities arise for growing the Good Food movement with all of these stakeholders networking through our important sessions and trade show exhibits.


Sign up now to take advantage of this great opportunity - space on the exhibit floor is limited!
