SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
2010 UP Show Has Been Canceled

Thank you for your interest in the Upper Midwest Foodservice & Lodging Show.

The challenging economy is taking a toll on the business community, with the hospitality industry being hit particularly hard. The difficult economic climate affects not only hospitality businesses, but also those that supply it with products and services. In recognition of the difficulty of vendors to dedicate limited resources, as well as the decline of trade shows across the county, the Board of Directors has voted to cancel the 2010 Upper Midwest Foodservice & Lodging Show (UP Show).
 
The UP Show has been an industry standard for 51 years and this decision was made seeking the best interest of the industry and the vendor community. In the future, Hospitality Minnesota, in cooperation with the Minnesota Restaurant Association, the Minnesota Lodging Association and the Minnesota Resort & Campground Association, will give consideration to a new event that could bring together buyers and sellers for mutual benefit.
 
We thank you for your support of the show over the years. These are changing times and we must change and adapt with them. We look forward to an exciting rebirth of an industry event in the future.  If you have questions, please call us at (651) 778-2400.
