1. marcus evans, a leading organizer of
major international business summits,
announced today the formation of a new
event, the Food & Beverage
Manufacturing Summit, which will
bring together a group of 50 executives,
15 solution partners and 12 industry
thought leaders for focused discussions.
The main topics driving the summit
agenda are: sustainability, FSMA/FDA
regulations, aligning NPI with
manufacturing processes, and the
convergence of operational technology
with internet technology within the
plant.
An objective for hosting this event was
to gain broad industry involvement,
bring new ideas and share best
practices to facilitate this transforma-
tion. To best meet this objective,
marcus evans is planning this event
with two founding partners, Schneider
Electric and Callisto Integration,
Inc. This structure is expected to
provide more resources, expertise and
industry perspective, delivering more
value to the attendees.
Attendees at the Food & Beverage
Manufacturing Summit will gain
access to industry experts and hear
keynote presentations that address the
unique challenges they now face. One-
on-one meetings will be arranged
between F&B manufacturing executives
and solution providers. Attendees can
find this unique feature quite valuable,
as a productive way to understand what
options exist to address current
challenges. Solution providers can
generate market awareness by getting
in front of decision-makers.
The summit aims to provide the
greatest return on time to busy
executives, who wish to navigate their
companies successfully through industry
challenges by embracing opportunities
to learn and collaborate with peers and
suppliers through meetings, networking
opportunities, round tables, panel
discussions and presentations.
“We are excited to be a co-founder of
the Food & Beverage Manufacturing
Summit to help drive focus on key
issues that are specific to the food and
beverage industry. The focused agenda
and carefully crafted invitee list should
make for an intense exchange of ideas
that we have not seen at other industry
events,” said Mike Grasley, VP
Technology & Marketing, Callisto
Integration, Inc.
“Our involvement in this summit was
driven by the significant transformation
now underway within the food and
beverage industry: demands on new
methods of producing product;
reformulations to remove artificial color,
flavors, and ingredients; and different
methods of delivery (bars, shakes) to
meet the new consumer‟s needs for
„food on the go‟. These transformations
require changes in the way manufactur-
ers source, make and deliver products.
We understand the need for agility,
responsiveness and standardization in
manufacturing,” said Maryanne
Steidinger, Director, Industry Solutions
Marketing, Schneider Electric.
The marcus evans Food & Beverage
Manufacturing Summit will take place
November 10-11, 2016, at The Drake
Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. To ensure the
delegation is of high relevancy, marcus
evans selects delegates according to
their scope of responsibility, sign-off
authority, size of company and
interest / timeframe in purchasing
products and services.
