IFDA Distribution Solutions Conference

IFDA is Changing Lanes – DSC 2020 Goes Digital!
Overview
With the input of many members, IFDA has made the decision to change the 2020 IFDA Distribution Solutions Conference that was to be held in Tampa, FL to a virtual conference format. With all the uncertainties surrounding the current COVID-19 pandemic, the move to a virtual setting was unanimously agreed upon by the DSC Planning Council which is made up of 20 individuals from leading foodservice distributors.
We are currently in the planning and design phases of the transition to a virtual conference–DSC Direct. In the meantime, we are excited to announce we will be offering the following features that will provide new directions for the distribution community. You can’t afford to miss our timely and relevant education sessions that will help industry leaders navigate the current environment and plan for future success!
- Digital Expo
- Innovation Lab Presentations
- Education Sessions
- Virtual Networking
As always, we’ll still have the content to meet the challenges of today including warehouse operations, transportation, talent development and compliance. Everything you would expect from the IFDA DSC.
