  Detailed Education Forum Agenda

  ____________________________

  The Specialty Food Association (SFA) has agreed
  to provide FCIA with a dedicated space for our first
  ever "FCIA Fine Chocolate Pavilion at SFA Fancy Food Show."  
  This is a huge step forward for us. Under the agreement
  FCIA will have 26 kiosks for our members to promote
  their wholesale products to the huge group of
  specialty food buyers. Kiosks are sold out!
  
  In addition, FCIA will have a stage area for guest
  speakers, tastings, and pairing demonstrations over
  the three days to further promote our members, their
  products and fine chocolate in general.
  
  All FCIA members can receive a discount on general
  registration to the Fancy Food Show in order to 
  attend the Pavilion and Education forums if you
  are unable to get or do not want a kiosk.
  
  Why Should You Be There: 

  This is an excellent opportunity for our members
  to network directly with the media (who always work the
  show looking for new products), retailers, and allied specialty
  food companies. 
  
  Please contact Nicole Price or Bill Guyton for details.
