Keynote Topics for June 23-24 Event Include Labor Availability, Track & Trace, Space Efficiencies

THE SITUATION:
The food and beverage industry has reached a crossroads where several disruptions are converging:

Presentations will address a broad range of topics through the lens of a changing economy, the impacts of COVID-19 and emerging technology trends.
