DFMi to Celebrate California with Food & Fun at IFSA Global EXPO
Share

DFMi is embracing the Long Beach location of this year’s IFSA Global EXPO with a “California Dreamin’” theme across its booth.
The company’s VP Marketing Kim Brown explains, “The pavilion will feature four corners inspired by California landmarks – National Parks, Santa Monica Pier, Mid-Century Modern, and Coastal California – each brought to life through furniture, graphics and sampling experiences that invite attendees to explore and linger.”
The 40’ x 40’ space will include a tiki bar where professional chef Leyla Wheelhouse will be serving up California-inspired dishes and drinks crafted exclusively for the show; a cozy midcentury modern living room; classic boardwalk games; a relaxing “fire pit” lounge area; and a full display of the incredible products from DFMi’s supplier partners.
“Creating immersive experiences has become part of our approach at IFSA,” notes Brown. “Last year’s carnival theme was a huge hit […] Each year we aim to raise the bar using design and storytelling to create a memorable setting for our suppliers’ products.”
