Plum Market Named Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 Miami Beach Food & Beverage Expo, Launches Retail Innovation Award for Breakthrough CPG Brands Winning Brand

Plum Market has officially signed on as the presenting sponsor of the 2026 Miami Beach Food & Beverage Expo, cementing a shared commitment to championing emerging talent in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector. As the centerpiece of the partnership, Plum Market will present the inaugural Retail Innovation Award, designed to discover, elevate and fast-track the best new packaged product showcased at the event.

The winning brand will receive guaranteed shelf placement across all six Plum Market full-service grocery store locations, granting direct access to a discerning, food-forward customer base. In addition to retail distribution, Plum Market leadership will provide the winner with hands-on mentorship and executive consulting across key growth pillars, including merchandising strategy, brand marketing and social media execution.

"At Plum Market, our mission has always centered on discovering extraordinary products and giving emerging brands a platform to succeed," said Marc Jonna, President and Co-Founder of Plum Market. "Partnering with the Miami Beach Food & Beverage Expo as the presenting sponsor allows us to connect directly with the most inventive makers in the business. The Retail Innovation Award isn't just shelf space-it's a hands-on partnership. We want to work alongside a visionary founder, opening our doors and sharing our expertise in merchandising, brand strategy and retail operations to help turn a breakthrough product into a household name."

"The future of CPG belongs to brands that are willing to innovate, challenge categories, and build authentic connections with consumers," said Sally Golan, Founder of the Miami Beach Food & Beverage Expo. "My vision has always been to create more than a trade show-we're building a community where founders, retailers, buyers, investors, media and industry leaders can come together to discover what's next. The incredible support we've already received from retailers, exhibitors, speakers, and partners reinforces that the industry is ready for a fresh, highly curated experience centered around innovation. Miami needs a show like this!"

The Retail Innovation Award will evaluate exhibiting brands on product originality, ingredient integrity, packaging appeal, market scalability and overall category disruption.

Details on submission criteria and the live judging panel will be announced ahead of the 2027 show.

Aerospace & defenseVadzo Imaging Positions Falcon-2020CRS: Onsemi AR2020 20MP Color USB 3.2 Gen 1 Camera with Excellent 850nm and 940nm NIR Response for Counter Drone ApplicationsCompanies: onsemiThe Falcon-2020CRS is a 20MP Color USB 3.2 Gen 1 Camera built on the Onsemi AR2020 sensor, and Vadzo is positioning it for counter-drone applications. A small drone at long range occupies very few pixels, flies against a bright sky, and may arrive at dusk or after dark, so the camera that watches it is limited by resolution, contrast, and light all at once. The Falcon-2020CRS puts more pixels on a distant target, keeps excellent response in the near infrared at 850nm and 940nm for illuminated night work, and offers eDR and HDR modes for bright skies and dark subjects. Wake on motion lets a remote node rest between events. The module connects over a standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable and carries an S-Mount lens holder. Designed for integrators building counter-drone systems, it supplies the visual layer that confirms and tracks what other sensors report.
  2. MediaVadzo Imaging Positions Innova-521CRS: Onsemi AR0521 5MP Color Rolling Shutter GigE Camera for Continuous Day and Night Video MonitoringCompanies: onsemiThe Innova-521CRS is a 5MP Color Rolling Shutter GigE Camera built on the Onsemi AR0521 sensor, and Vadzo is positioning it for continuous day and night video monitoring. Monitoring sites ask a camera to cover a wide area, to see in dim light, to cope with headlights and bright windows, and to keep working for months. A 5MP frame covers more ground than a 2MP frame, large 2.2 micron pixels gather light after dark, and HDR keeps bright and dark regions readable in the same picture. As a 5MP Ethernet Camera and an AR0521 Color Ethernet Camera, the Innova-521CRS connects over a single network cable, complies with ONVIF so standard video software can use it, supports PTP synchronization so several units share a time base, and finishes the picture in an onboard ISP. For monitoring that needs sharp stills of moving subjects, the sensor can also work with an external mechanical shutter. Designed for integrators building around-the-clock monitoring, it brings coverage, sensitivity, and standards support together.

AutomotiveVadzo Imaging Positions Bolt-821CRS: Onsemi AR0821 4K HDR MIPI CSI-2 Camera for Enhanced Cargo Visibility in Telematics ApplicationsCompanies: onsemiThe Bolt-821CRS is a 4K HDR MIPI CSI-2 Camera built on the Onsemi AR0821 sensor, and Vadzo is positioning it for enhanced cargo visibility in telematics applications. A cargo space is one of the hardest scenes a vehicle camera faces. The interior is dark, the open door or the window behind it is bright, and the lighting changes every time the vehicle moves from a warehouse dock to a sunlit road. As an 8MP Telematics HDR MIPI Camera and a 4K HDR MIPI Camera with 120+dB of dynamic range, the Bolt-821CRS keeps the load and the opening readable in the same frame. An on-board image signal processor applies auto exposure and auto white balance inside the module, and anti-flicker settings handle 50Hz and 60Hz lighting. It supports Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, Orin NX, and AGX Orin platforms through 2-lane and 4-lane adapter boards. Designed for fleet and telematics systems, this Cargo Visibility HDR MIPI Camera gives vehicle gateways a clear view of what is on-board.
