The FED experience is an invitation-only event to bring together everyone involved in foodservice from operators, dealers, and consultants, to restaurant designers, architects, chain development executives and more for two days of networking and interactive thought leadership discussions. Presented in a TED-Talk-style, expert speakers from across the foodservice landscape share quick, concise and on-trend thought leadership that will help your business thrive. Each session presents both back-of-the-house and front-of-the-house decision-makers with key learnings about the future of the foodservice equipment and design industries.

Testimonials

The FED Summit was just the right timeframe, just the right speakers and just the right team to make it all happen. I reunited with and made new friends and have taken away lots of valuable information that will help shape and impact my future success.

The FED Summit is easily one of the best – if not THE best – conferences I’ve ever attended.

Adam Deutschmann, General Manager, Bargreen Ellingson

It was refreshing to attend a conference where both the networking opportunities and the content were equally important. The sessions tackled provocative issues that will impact the future of the food industry and I've had multiple meetings and events that came solely from contacts I made at the FED Summit.

Mike Kostyo, Trendologist & Associate Director, Content, Datassential

The 2022 FED Summit was a great insight into the current state of not just the equipment world, but the restaurant industry as a whole. I really enjoyed hearing from designers sharing their real life successes and failures, equipment experts sharing what is really working, and from restaurant owners/managers to what their teams enjoy working with.

Brooks Kirchheimer, Co-Founder & Co-Owner, Hearth and Hill, and Leave Room for Dessert Eateries

The FED Summit was very thought-provoking and insightful. I came away with great ideas for my customer base to contemplate.

Drew O’Quinn, President, Singer T&L

I loved the diversity of types of leaders in the room; we all grow by learning from other channel segments. Great speakers, useful content, thoughtful dialog with attendees - excellence in every aspect!

Brad Pierce, President, Restaurant Equipment World

I absolutely enjoyed attending my first FED Thought Leadership Summit! It was the right mix of networking opportunities and insightful, thought-provoking content from expert speakers.

Joseph Vajda, AIA, LEED bd+c, Principal, Aria Group

To say that this old guy learned a lot of new, timely industry information is an understatement. I came away from the event saying to myself that this is one conference that can’t be missed, and I am already hoping that I get another chance at attending next year.

William J. Caruso, FFCSI (PP), President, CS Enterprises, LLC.

The FED Summit is so well put together. Both the content of the program and the opportunity to interact and collaborate with industry peers is on point. This conference is a home run for me and I always leave with new ideas and some new industry connections to help grow my business.
