Recapping 2025: Events to Remember
IMC/Teddy loves to hit the road (or the air) to meet with the foodservice community. In 2025, IMC had the honor & privilege of attending several events doing just that. What were some of the takeaways from these events? Let’s check them out:
The NAFEM Show 2025 – The Super Bowl of the Foodservice Industry
The event of all events happened! IMC was proudly part of this year’s NAFEM Show that took place from February 26-28, 2025. It was the biggest event we attended & we’re overjoyed with the overall outcome. There’s so much to unpack but we’re always happy to see fellow reps, dealers, consultants & longtime supporters come together for a memorable event.
The traditional rep breakfast meeting was a gigantic success. As for the booth itself, we were humbled by the interested visitors (both returning & new) that stopped by. The reactions to our new products were quite satisfying & we’re truly appreciative of the ongoing support.

Island Harvest Food & Fund Drive – We Heeded the Call Again
For the 2nd year in a row, IMC/Teddy participated in Island Harvest’s Food & Fund Drive to help those in need & reduce food waste on Long Island, NY. The drive officially began on June 2, 2025, and lasted until June 30, 2025.
The month long drive was a company wide initiative with outside guests donating as well. The results were a resounding 210 pounds of items collected, which convert to 175 total meals supported. IMC also donated $1,000 to Island Harvest, bringing the total meals supported to 2175.
This was our second time participating in the drive & we’re happy with the results that were accomplished. We’re planning a third installment for 2026 & this time we’re aiming even higher! For a complete reflection with a video recap, click here. #NAFEMFightingHunger
Del Vino Vineyards Lunch & Learn – An Afternoon of Food, Wine Tasting & Knowledge
IMC/Teddy teamed up with our local rep, Succession Reps, to participate in a Lunch & Learn at Del Vino Vineyards in Northport, NY. The 1 day event brought together various school districts in the New York area for an afternoon of networking, delicious food & amazing drinks.
We were delighted to reconnect & introduce ourselves to these school districts & hope to see everyone back again next year for another round. Take a look at our photo gallery from the day here.
EPI State Fair of Foodservice – Celebrating the Great Texas Tradition
IMC/Teddy’s rep, Equipment Preference, Inc., held their 4th annual State Fair of Foodservice to coincide with the State Fair of Texas. The event took place September 24, 2025 (K12 Focus Day) & September 25, 2025 (End User/Dealer Day) & featured EPI’s represented manufacturers displaying their finest products. The two day extravaganza was filled with fun, games & networking of course. We were delighted to highlight a selection of IMC products to the gracious visitors & hoped everyone gained a better understanding of IMC overall. For a video recap of the event, click here.
