FEA is moving swiftly up through the gears as the 2025 industry
conference comes together. This year’s

to provide high level insights into the issues.
Meanwhile FEA says that anyone wanting to attend this year’s
conference and take advantage of the Early Bird discount should move fast, as
it ends on July 31st.
One name sure to excite delegates is Google’s James Shaw,

optimise kitchen efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance user experience through
automation and predictive analytics.
Other high profile speakers include Rational AG’s CEO, Dr.
Peter Stadelmann; Parts Town’s Emanuela Delgado, GVP of Growth and
Innovation; and Matt Cundrick from MKMC Food Business Support and the founder
of FTG Navigator, a consultancy reshaping the future of food-to-go. Interior design using eco-friendly and
energy-efficient products will highlighted by the award-winning team at ABDA
Design.
FEA’s NextGen proposals will form a key presentation, during
which the association will give details of its ambitious plans to help young
professionals by supporting their careers, and to encourage more to join the industry. FEA is encouraging young people to attend the
conference by offering reduced rate day-delegate tickets for first timers.
Kelly Barrell is chair of FEA’s revenue and marketing committee,
which plans the conference. “The team

cutting-edge design and operational excellence, every session is curated to
keep delegates ahead of the curve.
“Meanwhile we hope the first-timer tickets will attract
young professionals wanting to find out about the industry, FEA and the NextGen
council.”
A new feature for the 2025 conference will be a casino
