Research Project Sponsor
Put your name on the insights the industry relies on.
FPSA research shapes how food and beverage manufacturers plan for workforce, technology, and growth. As a Research Project Sponsor, your company is part of that conversation from start to finish:
- Prominent brand placement on the report cover, executive summary, and every promotional email, webinar, and social post about the findings.
- Thought leadership as the company that helped deliver data decision-makers actually use.
- A seat at the table to help shape the research questions on the topics that matter most to your customers.
- Lasting visibility for as long as the report is read, downloaded, and cited.

Event Sponsorship & Exhibits
Meet your buyers face to face. FPSA events bring together the producers, OEMs, and suppliers who shape the industry. Sponsoring or exhibiting puts your team in the room, showcasing your solutions and starting real conversations with the decision-makers who matter most.
Cultivate: Leadership Growth Lab
November 5-6, 2026 | Lexington, KY
Get in early with the industry’s next generation of leaders.
Cultivate is FPSA’s newest conference, built for early- to mid-career professionals in food production and manufacturing. About 100 attendees spend two hands-on days in Leadership Labs, a real-time Operational Leadership Challenge, and a facilitated experience at a local food production facility.
These are the people who will make procurement, technology and leadership decisions for the next 30 years. Sponsoring puts your brand with them at the start of their careers.
As a first-year program, Cultivate gives sponsors a rare ground-floor opportunity, with limited sponsorships and maximum visibility.
Three days with the people who sign the purchase orders.
FSX (Food Solutions Exchange & Conference) is FPSA’s flagship event, where OEMs, service providers and suppliers meet the executives and food producers driving investment across the industry. Eighty percent of attendees hold director-level roles or higher.
Exhibit in The Hub, the central meeting space where tabletop displays, coffee breaks and curated networking keep buyers moving past your table all three days. Space is limited and fills faster every year.
Sponsorships range from general sessions, receptions and the Defeat Hunger Golf Classic to name badges, hotel keycards and breakfast placements. There’s a level built for your goals.
In-Person Event
Food Production Solutions Show (FPSS)
October 26-28, 2027 | McCormick Place, Chicago, IL
A trade show built around the buyer’s journey.
The Food Production Solutions Show (FPSS) organizes the show floor around the problems food manufacturers are trying to solve, not around supplier product catalogs. That means attendees arrive with a project in mind and leave ready to invest.
Four Solution Zones put your company where buyers are already looking: Product Development & Planning, Regulatory & Compliance, Production & Facilities, and Operations & Scaling. Education sessions and live production demos keep them on the floor.
Position your solutions in front of manufacturers ready to make decisions and grow.
