America Buys Italian 2026 (September 27 – October 1)

We’re excited to announce the fifth edition of America Buys Italian (ABI), our signature initiative developed in collaboration with ExportUSA and the National Grocers Association.

ABI is a premier B2B summit combined with an immersive experience in Italy, connecting Italian food and beverage producers with top buyers and category managers from leading U.S. independent grocery chains.

This year, we’re offering tailored sponsorship opportunities for companies, trade associations, consortia, and Italian regions looking to gain visibility and connect with key industry players. Opportunities include session sponsorships, meal sponsorships, and B2B Exhibition Hall sponsorships.

Participating chains include Clark’s Market, Lowes Foods, Niemann’s, and ShopRite (Garafalo Markets, LLC). And, for the first time in ABI’s history, we’re expanding beyond the U.S. with the participation of Ingredienta Gourmet, a Mexico-based grocery chain.

If you are interested in learning more about sponsorship opportunities or participating in the program, please contact mocchetti@italchamber.org.
