Thank You for Making Our Fall Buying Show a Success!

On September 11, 2025, ASG hosted its annual Fall Buying Show at Citi Field, bringing together vendor partners, customers, and team members for a day of connection, collaboration, and opportunity.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the event. From engaging product showcases to meaningful business conversations, the show was a testament to the strength of our partnerships and the shared commitment to growth.

A special thank you to our generous vendors who provided food samples throughout the day, and to our ASG team members who partnered with City Harvest to rescue and redistribute over 12,000 pounds of food and beverages to New Yorkers in need. This effort reflects the heart of our organization—where business and community go hand in hand.

We look forward to continuing this momentum and welcoming you to future events that inspire innovation and celebrate collaboration.
