Some of the main lectures attended were: Main Trends that Shape the Future of Food Service, translated simultaneously; Strategies to Prevent Conflicts in a Multicultural and Multi-generation Work Environment and How to Improve Retention Rate and Engagement through E-learning.

The event ends this Tuesday (23rd), when the delegation from ABF will make a technical visit to the Potbelly Sandwich Shop, conclude the visit to the show and, in the closing meeting, attend a lecture by Technomic.
