For the first time in many years, we will be holding an In-Person After-Show presentation in partnership with the Research Chefs Association. This session is free to attend and will be followed by a reception from 7:00 – 8:00 pm. This session will not be recorded, nor live-streamed.

The presentation will cover the strategy plans of ingredient companies and how it relates to securing new business, how skill sets and team members are evaluated to align to the strategy plan. She will then discuss the roles and skill sets of a Chef versus a Food Scientist and how they are used to gain business. The presentation will also include the challenges of culinology in the ingredient business and how success is driven by “You”.
