The MSU Product Center will not be hosting the Making It In Michigan Conference and Trade Show in 2026.
Given the increased costs of hosting the event, the MSU Product Center team is working with local partners on more affordable ways to help connect our clients with buyers.
Our team is encouraging clients who are ready for large volume, wholesale sales to participate in food industry conferences and trade shows. Here are some national events taking place in 2026:
- The National Restaurant Association Show May 16-19, 2026 in Chicago, IL
- Sweets and Snacks Expo May 19-21, 2026 in Las Vegas, NV
- The Specialty Food Association Summer Fancy Food Show June 28-30, 2026in New York, NY
Be sure to connect with your MSU Product Center counselor to develop a 2026 plan for connecting with your target buyers.
