Wrapping Up the 2019 IFDA Conference

IFDA Logo

The 2019 International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) Distribution Solutions Conference offered a great chance to connect with the industry’s top organizations. Also, it provides the opportunity to learn from some of its best minds with a number of educational presentations. As they represent a $300 billion industry, IFDA leads the growth, development, and success of the foodservice distribution industry. The organization focuses on advocacy, research, education, and networking opportunities.

To that end, the event’s mission is to be:

“… where leaders in operations, transportation and technology gather with renowned speakers, innovators, and disruptors to chart the future of foodservice distribution.”

The conference is the perfect occasion to share how we can support growth through simple, smart, and strategic solutions. Because of our expertise in warehouse optimization, Storage Solutions has the staff and knowledge to address challenges head-on.

While we were there, our team was able to connect and learn to keep up with the latest trends in the trade.

“The event gave us a great chance to see some old faces and meet some new ones. We were excited to share our background of working with companies in this industry,” explained Steve Ponsler, our Used Equipment Division SVP. “As a result, we were able to bring back an updated knowledge base of the challenges these businesses face.”

IFDA

IFDA has come and gone and after a great conference, we can confidently say that we are bringing back invaluable information about the industry. After our few days in Maryland, we are excited to use our new resources to help you!

We learned a great deal of information about the industry’s best practices and how to incorporate them into our business. In addition, the show was a great networking opportunity. Meeting many other people in the industry all over the country gave us the opportunity to learn from their experiences, and implement them in our day-to-day operations. It’s been another terrific trade show and we can’t wait for next year!

Furthermore, Aaron Resiak, one of our attendees, spoke highly of his experience. “IFDA was a great opportunity to learn more about the challenges and hurdles put on the foodservice distribution industry.  Experience from working with previous clients allowed us to share our insights and grow our understanding of the various solutions.  No doubt, we look forward to continuing our support within the foodservice market and appreciate the opportunity to grow our footprint in this valuable industry.”

With the end of IFDA, also comes the end of our 2017 trade show itinerary. Our 2018 upcoming trade shows schedule will be coming soon! Keep an eye out for the updated 2018 trade show list.
