Known for their breadth of knowledge and experience across the foodservice value chain, ESA Founder and Chief Development Officer, Stephanie Lind, and CEO, Dimitra Rizzi, will lead an interactive session that provides the most comprehensive introduction to the foodservice channel available. Topics include:
- An overview of the channel and its segments.
- The importance of omni-channel marketing.
- How foodservice differs from retail.
- Links in the value chain and how they influence one another.
- How to foresee and prepare for the unexpected in foodservice.
- Identifying with the customer/operator, rather than the consumer, and understanding their motivations.

The in-person format will allow for detailed discussions of attendees' areas of interest and one-on-one interaction with the speakers.
Mark DiDomenico, also of the ESA team, will join the discussion of coming trends in the natural foods and alternative protein space for 2023. With more than a decade of experience at Datassential and an additional two decades at industry leaders like Kellogg's and Sara Lee Foodservice, DiDomenico possesses an uncommon level of expertise in translating data into actionable insights. His analytical perspective — particularly in conversation with Lind and Rizzi's experience in innovation, entrepreneurship, logistics, operations and sales — will provide solid insights about the year's coming trends.
This training event will be held from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Tuesday, March 7, at Anaheim Marriott (700 West Convention Way) in Anaheim, California. It will be a perfect fit for attendees considering entering the foodservice channel or those just wanting to learn more. The course is designed to provide expert education and guidance for:
