ORLANDO, FL — The North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers’ board of directors has canceled The NAFEM Show 2021. The association described its decision as being “in response to rapidly changing circumstances caused by the pandemic.” The NAFEM Show was expected to draw thousands of foodservice professionals from across the US.
The NAFEM Show will return to its regular time slot in 2023. The event will take place, as scheduled, Feb. 1-3, in Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center. It will mark a four-year gap between NAFEM Shows, the first time that has happened in the association’s history. Until 2021, The NAFEM Show had taken place every other year since 1973, a run of 26 exhibitions.
