Food Shippers of America works to ensure that there is a balance of shippers and suppliers to allow our shippers to meet with a broad array of different supplier types.
There are no limits to the number of attendees from a member company or shipper, receiver or food service company.
However, there are limits for all others:
FSA asks that these limits are followed and conference attendees should be aware that FSA reserves the right to decline or cancel a registration for a company that has exceeded these limits to ensure limit compliance.
As a volunteer organization, FSA depends on the support from across the industry. Please sign up to be a conference volunteer during registration. If you have specific questions about volunteering, please call (847) 302-1496, email, or complete this form.
