The mission of The Ice Cream Association is to foster a vibrant ice cream industry by uniting distributors, manufacturers, retailers, and vendors, through a collaborative network - for the love of ice cream.
Becoming a member of The Ice Cream Association gives you instant access to exclusive benefits, including an invitation to the annual Ice Cream Summit, a members-only event and an industry favorite for networking, professional development, and more.
Previously know as the Annual Convention, the 2026 Ice Cream Summit & Expo is bringing together TICA members from across the industry for three days of connection, learning, and fun! Attendees will explore the latest products and services in our lively Expo Hall, gain valuable insights from dynamic speakers, and enjoy unbeatable networking and social events.
Mobile vendors can now take advantage of exclusive savings! The first 20 new mobile vendor members will receive $300 off 2026 membership dues, and the first 20 mobile vendors registered for the 2026 Ice Cream Summit can receive $500 off their hotel bill at the Summit host hotel. These offers can help you save while connecting with industry peers and growing your business.
We introduced Flavor of the Month, a monthly member poll, in our newsletter, The Scoop. This poll gives members the opportunity to share feedback and insights that help TICA continue delivering value and better serving your needs.
