The U.S. market is becoming increasingly saturated for many leading foodservice brands. Many have recently shared their plans for international foodservice business development and expansion. International restaurant expansion comes with a host of challenges for all constituents: manufacturers, operators and distributors.
As part of the 2017 IFMA Presidents Conference, executives from the manufacturer, operator and distributor communities will provide information and insights with key learnings focused on:
- The importance and uniqueness of culture in doing business internationally, as well as diverse political landscapes, international law and government models
- Drivers for global expansion and how it impacts the entire supply chain, including needs from the manufacturer, operator and distributor
- The evolution of the sourcing process and what it looks like internationally vs. nationally.
The fundamentals are shifting. From globalization and the future of route-to-market, to attracting talent and the changing business model. The 2017 Presidents Conference will help foodservice leaders discover insights into the channel’s most critical issues and opportunities.
Join IFMA at the 55th annual Presidents Conference November 5-7 in Phoenix, AZ where leaders in the foodservice industry come together to discuss changing consumer expectations and behaviors that are driving the future of the foodservice supply chain. From food consumption to the future generation of foodservice leaders, technology will forever-change the way our industry operates. The future is inevitable. Technology is unavoidable. People are your entire business.
