Operator/Supplier Xchange

The Operator/Supplier Xchange is a one-of-a-kind opportunity, designed to create a networking experience like no other.

Are you looking for ways to simplify your sales process and maximize resources? At the Operator/Supplier Xchange, we have secured 10 high-impact appointments with healthcare operator decision-makers—all within a collaborative environment unlike anything else in the industry.

Exclusively open to IFMA The Food Away from Home Association Members, this event provides suppliers with direct access to decision-makers from top operators. Over the course of a single day, you will participate in a series of one-on-one meetings with key industry players, helping you streamline your sales process and maximize your ROI.

June 24–25
Healthcare November 17–18

Who Should Attend?

  • Members seeking to grow business in key industry segments.
  • Operators looking for a cost-effective and time-efficient way to meet top foodservice members. (Travel and lodging expenses for operators are fully covered by IFMA The Food Away from Home Association!)

What Makes It Unique?

  • Dedicated One-on-One Meetings: Each 25-30 minute meeting will be one operator matched with one member company. This setup allows for deeper, more focused conversations, helping to forge stronger business relationships.
  • Customized Profiles: Both operators and IFMA members will fill out profiles before the event. These profiles ensure that both parties are well-informed about each other ahead of the meetings.
  • A Deeper Dive: Think of this XChange as an extension or a deeper dive than the "Speed Meetings" at COEX, offering even more time for members and operators to align and collaborate on future opportunities.
