NACUFS 2026 Spring Conference Showcase – Philadelphia 

Thursday, March 19, 2026 – Philadelphia Marriott Downtown  

Where innovation meets connection — and every conversation moves our industry forward. 

 

The 2026 Spring Conference Showcase in Philadelphia is your opportunity to experience campus dining’s most collaborative marketplace — a space designed for discovery, networking, and real conversations that spark progress.

Whether you’re attending or exhibiting, your presence drives progress. 
Every conversation, every question, and every product shared helps strengthen the future of campus dining. 

 

Connecting People. Powering Progress.

It’s more than a tagline — it’s what happens when we all show up. 

Why Attend.  

Inspiration. See what’s new in food, tech, and operations from leading industry partners — from emerging products and menu trends to tools that make your operation smarter and more efficient. 

Connection. This interactive showcase is your chance to have meaningful conversations — not just quick handshakes. Ask questions, explore solutions, and build partnerships that last. 

Action. Every booth is an opportunity to find something that could improve your campus dining program — whether it’s a sustainability initiative, new product line, or an operational breakthrough. 

 

Why Exhibit.

Be Where the Conversations Happen. 
The Showcase is where campus dining professionals come to explore what’s possible and see the latest and greatest in dining trends. 

Engage Decision-Influencers. 
You’ll connect directly with those who influence decision makers and shape dining strategies across both contract and self-operated campuses. 

Showcase Innovation. 
Share your latest products, services, and technologies that make dining more efficient, more sustainable, and more student-focused.
