IFMA Presidents Conference 2021
Scottsdale, AZ 
November 7-9, 2021 

About IFMA’s In-Person Presidents Conference 2021

This November, IFMA will reunite the leaders from across the foodservice community for an in-person event in Scottsdale unlike any the industry has seen. Co-hosted by the National Restaurant Association and the International Foodservice Distributors Association, IFMA’s Presidents Conference will reconnect, reengage, and reinspire foodservice management and senior leaders in a celebration of community and unity centered around our foodservice industry.   

Focused on creating an exclusive and immersive in-person experience at the award-winning Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, Presidents Conference will provide you with opportunities to connect and network with other senior leaders within the manufacturer, operator, distributor, and allied partner communities at unique events throughout the resort. From immersive breakout sessions and outdoor celebrations – including an event to honor the 2020 and 2021 IFMA Silver Plate Classes – to a series of collaborative roundtables between operators and supply partners, you will make lasting memories and build new relationships with your colleagues, peers and customers.  

In addition, you will access exclusive executive-level content from leaders within and outside of foodservice that will address the industry’s most pertinent topics to position you and your company for success. 

Join us in Scottsdale to reconnect, reengage, and reinspire the future of foodservice!
