6 • July | August 2026 • abasto.com More than a Magazine D uring May and June, the Abasto team attended more than seven major industry events across the United States and Latin America, including the 4th Latin Consumer Summit, the National Restaurant Association Show, Sweets & Snac- ks Expo, ANTAD, Purple Crow Show, IDDBA, and Alimentec | Anuga. These events allowed us to identify emer- ging trends, connect with industry leaders, and bring valuable insights back to our rea- ders. But they also highlight something that makes Abasto different. When you advertise with Abasto, your mes- sage goes far beyond the pages of our maga- zine or our digital platforms. We take your brand with us wherever the industry gathers. Every trade show, conference, and networ- king event gives us the opportunity to connect with distributors, supermarket executives, in- dependent grocers, wholesalers, importers, and manufacturers who are actively shaping the future of the Hispanic food and beverage industry. Few publications serving this market maintain the level of industry presence that Abasto does. We believe that being on the show floor, meeting decision-makers fa- ce-to-face, and building relationships throughout the year allows us to better serve both our readers and our advertisers. Our commitment is simple: to be where business happens. Every mile traveled, every conversation held, and every event attended strengthens the connection between brands and the Hispanic marketplace. Because when you advertise with Abasto, your message travels with us. Executive Director • EDITORIAL
