Conference


Music City Sheraton Hotel
Nashville, Tennessee
November 5 - 7

Join us for what promises to be an exciting, fast-paced conference packed with
networking, product sampling, learning, touring, connecting with Nashville's best and brightest chefs, restaurateurs and food producers, as well as participating in the all-important "Office Hours,"
individual meetings between members of the foodservice media and publicists to discuss editorial placements. Oh, and music, lots of music.
