CFIC 2026

The CFIC Annual Convention 2026 is a premier industry gathering for professionals in the grocery retail and food supply sectors, taking place July 19–22, 2026 at the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA. Organized by the Carolinas Food Industry Council (CFIC), this three-day event offers a relaxed yet highly productive environment where grocery retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, sales agents, and service providers come together to build relationships, share insights, and explore new business opportunities.

While not a traditional trade show, the convention features a rich mix of educational sessions, executive presentations, one-on-one business meetings, and networking receptions designed to deepen industry knowledge and forge long-lasting partnerships. Attendees can sample products, engage with vendors, and participate in interactive discussions that address current trends and challenges in the grocery sector.

Complemented by social events and informal networking opportunities, CFIC 2026 delivers a unique blend of business development, community building, and strategic collaboration essential for success in the competitive retail food landscape.
