usiness leaders are being bombarded with so many tech terms these days that life sometimes feels a little too much like a science fi ction blockbuster. Artifi cial intelligence (AI), robotics, Big Data — what’s real and what’s empty buzz? More importantly, how can businesses put these exciting technological tools to use? The Tech Talks at the 2024 FEDA Annual Executive Leadership Conference will answer those questions by sharing the real-world experiences of high-level professionals within the foodservice equipment and supplies industry. Jacob Moody, chief information offi cer at Bargreen Ellingson; Miron Washington, chief digital offi cer at Parts Town; and Jennifer Ward, chief revenue offi cer at Atosa, will each give short TED Talk-


style presentations that cover how various technologies are changing the industry and how dealers and manufacturers can equip themselves to take advantage of new technology developments. “Technology is rapidly encompassing every facet of our industry and tomorrow’s winners will be those companies who embrace it today,” says Brad Pierce, president of Restaurant Equipment World and co-chair of the FEDA Data Governance and Standards Committee. Pierce, who will open and close the Tech Talks, encourages all conference attendees to come to the special sessions and learn from industry peers at the forefront of the high-tech movement. “The talks will feature real- world insights to begin transforming your organization to meet evolving customer needs utilizing cutting-edge technologies,” he adds.
