He added, "I'm looking forward to learning new and dynamic ways to continue to build our foodservice program at the University of Notre Dame."

Bruce Taffet, former executive vice president of United Artists and Regal Cinema, agreed. "The very idea that we in the recreation channel can learn best practices in foodservice business development from convenience retailers, mass merchandisers, contract management companies, transportation and educational channel operators and others, makes this a very dynamic conference for very dynamic learning for all who attend," he said.

Dr. Debby Cannon, dean of Georgia State University's School of Hospitality, said, "I can't recall a foodservice and hospitality conference that targets a wide range of operators from such a diverse set of channels. What a great forum for learning from each other in different channels of foodservice."
