Finally, life begins to give us a glimpse of what we once called normal with a industry food show… but is it?
The reality is we have a new normal and we need to roll with it. COVID has completely redefined our industry from our cost of doing business, hours of operation to the staff we can not seem to find. Yet somehow we have managed to continue to adapt and reinvent creating a rebirth of our industry and recording record sales.
The focus is no longer on special pricing and commodities but new products, labor savings and product education.
The main reason to come out and join us is to reconnect with your colleagues, sales representatives and brokers. Networking is an important part of our business. How many times have you attended an event or simply gone out to dinner and run into a familiar face. It never seems to fail that the next day of business they are in your establishment!
