SNAXPO exhibitors are invited now to lock in their space for SNAXPO 2007, to be held March 24-27, at the Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa in Hollywood, Fla. It will be the SFA’s 70th annual exhibition and conference.

The 2005 SNAXPO was held at this location and was a tremendous success and drew rave reviews, according to Jim McCarthy, SFA president & CEO.  As a result, that same venue was selected for next year’s show.

“The Westin Diplomat was a perfect fit for our exhibit and conference, with its state of the art convention center and upscale sleeping rooms,” he said. “We are looking forward to another highly successful event.”

The City of Hollywood covers 27 sq. miles along the Atlantic Ocean between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport abuts the city, while Port Everglades, the second busiest cruise port in the world, is partially within its municipal boundaries.

Since its incorporation in 1925, the City of Hollywood has transformed itself into the second-most populated city in Broward County and the ninth largest city in Florida. There are beautiful beaches, shopping and exciting attractions just minutes away from the convention headquarters hotel.

The heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale is composed of shopping, dining, waterfront parks and cultural attractions along a brick-lined Riverwalk, which runs along the New River, including chic Las Olas Blvd. Champion golf courses cater to weekend warriors and seasoned professionals alike.

Then, of course, there is Miami Beach, rated in the top 10 worldwide and nationwide for the fourth straight year by TV’s Travel Channel. Located just minutes by car to the south, it is home to beautiful beaches, delectable cuisine, sizzling nightlife, colorful architecture and unrivaled shopping.

All of that is just window dressing for SNAXPO, which, as always, will offer outstanding educational programming, as well as the opportunity to do business with top decision makers and buyers in the snack food industry.
