“With the current surge of COVID-19 cases, and reports of increased transmissibility of the Omicron variant, the current state of COVID-19 has made it exceptionally challenging to host our in-person food sampling show without risking the safety of our attendees,” stated Ari Goldsmith, Vice President of Marketing and Digital Media at KeHE, in a press release.
Goldsmith added, “We recognize the importance of the Summer Show for our supplier and retailer partners, bringing together both to buy and sell products for the months of May, June, and July. KeHE is fully committed to hosting our show. We’re excited to feature an abundance of new product offerings, inspiration for new merchandising tactics, and trend education for attendees to use to enhance their businesses in a virtual format.”
