At the recent International Foodservice Distributors (IFDA) Distribution Solutions Conference in Tampa, Florida, the focus was on meeting challenges with future-focused solutions.
According to IFDA president and CEO Mark Allen, “foodservice distribution is an industry that meets disruptive times with dynamic solutions.”
Keynote presenter, Mike Walsh, CEO of the consultancy Tomorrow, encouraged distributors to think of innovation as more than just efficiency, but as a way of rethinking what is possible in a world that is becoming increasingly digitized.
Bill Conrad, CEO and President of Prime Source Foods, also spoke to the necessity of leveraging emerging technology to continue to thrive. “In foodservice distribution, we treat people well, pay them well, and provide them good benefits,” he said. “I’m a believer that these values, coupled with exciting new technology, will make for an optimistic future.”
Throughout the event, it was clear that IFDA believes that the keys to success for foodservice distributors is combining cutting-edge foodservice distribution technology with bold strategies for recruiting, developing, and retaining the industry’s personnel.
