Hospitality News is excited to announce a strategic partnership with CPG Xperience, founded by Shannon Peffley, whose work has created meaningful access and visibility for small, local, and emerging brands across foodservice, grocery, retail, and alternative channels. Together, we will expand The Hospitality Edge, add new events, spotlight founders’ stories, and welcome their advertisements as part of our growing supplier community. Our industry events and vendor directory are evolving into a Supplier Directory for a stronger, smarter industry supported by a transparent list of trade shows and events across hospitality, foodservice, and CPG. People buy from people they trust. In our industry, food is personal, and true supplier partners help operators deliver for guests and customers. The Hospitality Edge exists because operators thrive when suppliers are integrated into long‑term planning, growth, and operational health. The events and companies featured in The Hospitality Edge have earned their place through trusted performance, respected recommendations, or by serving as proven sponsors and exhibitors within leading trade organizations and through the successful incubator community network of CPG Xperience. Additionally, these include the American Culinary Federation (ACF), NACUFS, AHF, SHFM, and other associations Hospitality News proudly supports. The directory is free to join. We are curating regional lists to help operators find reliable partners close to home and offer display advertising for brands looking to elevate visibility and raise the bar for our industry. The Hospitality Edge is more than a directory it is a commitment to partnership, transparency, and shared success. It is built for operators who deserve suppliers that show up, stand by their work, and contribute meaningfully to the health of our hospitality community. Welcome to the edge. These pages will continue to be updated. Share your 5‑star stories, and let’s build something stronger together. 𝒜 . 𝒢𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓃𝑒 & 𝒮𝒽𝒶𝓃𝓃𝑜𝓃 𝒫𝑒𝒻𝒻𝓁𝑒𝓎
