You’ll Need To Know: FER’s E&S Forecast Seminar Aug. 7

Registered yet? How are you going to plan for next year if you don’t know the outlook? Foodservice Equipment Reports’ 2014 E&S Market Forecast President’s Preview will be held Wednesday, Aug. 7, at the Westin O’Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Ill. This annual one-day event provides manufacturers, operators, dealers and others in the industry an in-depth look at the foodservice equipment and supplies industry next year and beyond, in time for planning and budgeting. It includes the industry’s only hard- number forecasts of the E&S market.

The meeting presentations include data and analysis of macro-economic, operator and materials-price trends as they impact the foodservice E&S market, as well as exclusive information on E&S manufacturer list-price trends from AutoQuotes. FER‘s annual rankings of the top U.S. E&S manufacturers will be updated. Additional data, buying group analysis and a full-ranking of dealers based on FER‘s annual Top Dealers Report is also featured. The merger and acquisition activity in both communities will be detailed.

The meeting will close, as always, with our hard-number forecasts of the E&S market in ’14 and out through ’17. We detail the longer-terms forecasts by product categories as well as overall industry growth.

The Westin O’Hare is just a 10-minute free hotel-shuttle ride from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. The early-bird fee, $895, applies until July 5. Registrants after then will pay the full $995 fee. For those who cannot attend the meeting, the forecast materials will be available for $1,295 after the meeting.

The meeting is scheduled from 9:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. so many attendees can fly in and fly out on Aug. 7. Rooms are available at the Westin O’Hare for only $159 for those wishing to stay overnight.
