Publisher’s Note: Meeting of Minds

The importance of education in our industry cannot be overstated. Shows like the National Restaurant Association Show and The NAFEM Show are a great way to keep up on new products (as is reading each issue of FER!). But what about everything else? Wouldn’t it be great to have a group of industry experts at your disposal who can help guide you through the opportunities and challenges that exist in the coming year?

Wouldn’t it be awesome to hear from experts at Frontier Energy, GTI Energy, the International Food and Beverage Technology Association, NSF, ReFED, Technomic and WD Partners on the trends they have seen specific to our industry on topics surrounding saving energy, balancing technology with hospitality, mastering restaurant operations and more? Or to learn from executives at restaurant brands such as Dickey’s Barbecue Restaurants, Dine Brands and Jack in the Box?

And finally, wouldn’t it be amazing to learn from other operators with similar business models as you? Or to get insights into ideas you’re considering, problems you’re facing and opportunities that currently exist in your marketplace?

Hear from pros and build out your network at MUFES, coming soon.

FER’s Multiunit Foodservice Equipment Symposium (MUFES) gives you all that and so much more! Come join us Jan. 27-29 at the Hyatt Regency in beautiful Clearwater Beach, Fla., and not only hear these professionals speak but also create a group of industry experts, manufacturers and other like-minded operators who you can call on in the future as important questions arise. Register now at fermag.com/mufes and turn here for an in-depth look at the agenda.

Hope to see you then!
