CESA expects a lively debate at its 2018 Conference on 14-15 November at De Vere Cotswold Water Park, when three of the industry’s biggest names, Alberto Zanata, CEO of Electrolux Professional, Klaus Goeldenbot, Group CEO of Nisbets and Steve Snower, CEO of Partstown, take part in a high profile presentation looking at the big issues – and how the industry needs to change to tackle them.
The ‘Titans of Industry’ session (the name based on FCSI’s Foodservice Consultant magazine’s long-running series of interviews with manufacturing CEOs, including Zanata) will cover the disruptions that these three global players anticipate. With margins under pressure throughout the supply chain, what needs to be done to keep pace, survive and thrive? And how does all this impact on the evolution of the value chain?
Disruptive environment
Once they’ve delivered their expert opinions, the Titans will take part in a Q&A session hosted by the conference chair Simon Jack who, as a broadcaster and economist, is well versed in asking awkward questions – and getting them answered.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Evolving in a Disruptive Environment.’ More details of the conference programme and speakers can be found at cesaconference.co.uk
