President & CEO

Dear Food Industry Executives and Guests,

FIA is excited to invite you to our 28th Annual Gala, the premier event for New York’s Food Industry! As 2025 represents our organization’s 125th year, representing the retail food industry in New York, your participation will help ensure it is a night of celebration!

Join FIA at the prestigious Glen Island Harbour Club on October 21st for an extended cocktail reception with the event starting at 5:00 pm. Industry leaders representing the full spectrum of our industry, from retail, chains, and wholesalers to brokers, suppliers, and manufacturers.

Continuing our tradition of a bountiful cocktail reception filled with butlered hors d’oeuvres, lavish food stations, and complimentary drinks, FIA extends the cocktail reception to ensure attendees can maximize time with our industry leaders in a less formal setting. Our final part of the evening includes an exciting keynote discussion and FIA’s Annual Awards presentation, all while enjoying international coffees, cordials, and assorted desserts.

We hope you can join us in recognizing the continued achievements of our industry!

Sincerely,
Mike Durant
President & CEO
