ver the past year, FEDA sustainably added to its educational programs and initiatives, covering a wide range of topics relevant to anyone working in foodservice equipment and supplies. Some of our most impactful programs were our online open forums, presented by FEDA Young Industry Leaders, as those who participated developed new skills and knowledge that will directly benefit their organizations. Our cybersecurity forum, held last spring, featured experts and experienced practitioners presenting information on current and critical risks employees and companies face every day. Attendees learned best practices to help their businesses prepare for possible cyberattacks, minimize their impact on operations or prevent them entirely. Our second event focused on leadership skills development and featured a panel of executives from within our industry discussing how to set individual goals that align with larger objectives and organizational strategies. If you missed out on these great forums, it’s not too late. All of FEDA’s educational programs are available on
learn.feda.com. We also introduced new educational tools to help members better understand how to get the most out of the FEDA Data Portal. Our how-to videos explained new features and shared tips and shortcuts. Additionally, we started two data portal newsletters and held virtual

meetings that were specific to dealers and manufacturers. These newsletters and meetings explained data portal enhancements and answered questions. In addition to these activities, FEDA also continued to make available on-demand courses in strategic learning areas, such as sales training, business operations and leadership development. But FEDA is excited to have even more in store for 2024 that will strengthen members’ knowledge and skills. A big focus for next year will be emerging technologies, as tech remains a crucial part of FEDA’s strategic learning. The crux of this training will come through hour-long videos featuring experts that will tackle emerging opportunities and risks that arise from the use of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics.
