TRSA hosts free to all Food & Beverage and Hospitality virtual summits

11 March 2022


NORTH AMERICA
TRSA, the trade association for the North American linen rental industry is offering a free professional development opportunity for both members and non-members. In order to provide the high-quality trainings, while taking account of scheduling constraints, TRSA has decided to host its Food & Beverage Summit and the Hospitality Summit at no cost to TRSA members and non–members alike. The F&B Virtual Summit will be held on 15 March and the Hospitality Virtual Summit will be held on 16 March. The summits will each run from 11 am to 2 pm EST on their respective dates.

Attendees can look forward to sector-specific presentations led by industry executives offering insights into the latest trends and recent research, as well as roundtable discussions led by key senior executives.

Recently, TRSA completed the Florida leg of its Reopening Tour as TRSA staff drove more than 500 road miles in Florida, adding to the nearly 8,000 miles across 30 states during the past 12-months. Other segments of the Reopening Tour covered California, the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast, with visits to more than 100 member facilities and customers’ locations. While touring, it was clear that the continuing issue of labour shortages and supply chain issues that have been plaguing the industry are still impacting everyday business. TRSA’s executive leadership is ready to take action to help keep members abreast of information sharing during these challenging times.

“Over five days last week, we visited with TRSA member operators and supplier partners at 14 laundry facilities and corporate offices across Florida. What we heard is that the linen, uniform and facility services industry is still battling an array of business challenges These range from staff recruitment/retention to supply-chain bottlenecks, rising costs for nearly everything – especially fuel and natural gas,” said Joseph Ricci, TRSA president and CEO.

“While Florida, which as was never fully locked-down, has recovered across market sectors, especially tourism, the large cities and conference destinations continue to struggle with workers slowly returning to their offices and business travel returning very slowly. In response, we’re offering these virtual summits at no charge. It’s the least we can do to help these companies in their time of need.”
