IFDA schedules 2015 DSC for October

The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) has scheduled its Distribution Solutions Conference for October 26-28, 2015, at the Phoenix (AZ) Convention Center.
This annual operations conference provides insights and information for those attending, and the workshops address everything from the most pressing operational challenges to subjects that keep you ahead of the curve.
Highlights of the upcoming DSC include:
•Your Leadership Brand in Operations—Personal development on the long-term impression you make as a leader in operations.
•Operator Co-op Perspective—Wendy’s Supply Chain personnel talk about what they look for in a distribution partner.
•Crash Avoidance through Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication—Research to develop and implement modified wi-fi technology that could alter the nature of truck safety.
•Union Avoidance Strategies—IFDA’s Labor Counsel will address dramatic changes to the union organizing process.
•Transportation & Warehouse Idea Exchanges—Part panel, part full audience interaction, this is an opportunity for open sharing on operations issues.
Along with sharpened workshop content, new products and technologies at the expo, and networking with industry peers, this year’s DSC has a new emphasis in our general sessions to deliver insights for personal improvement that will make you a better leader.
