This year’s Society For Hospitality and Foodservice Management (SHFM) National Conference, Evolving Hospitality: Celebrating the Past and Fueling the Future - 45TH ANNIVERSARY, brought together industry professionals to explore the ever-changing landscape of hospitality. Keynote speaker Will Guidara, alongside surprise guest Frank Guidara, offered profound insights into how past innovations can guide us toward a future shaped by “unreasonable and intentional hospitality.” Other distinguished speakers touched on economic and technological shifts, providing a glimpse into the future of the industry. Our very own VP, Amanda Beni, CSP, served as Conference Chair, working with the committee to create an unforgettable experience. Highlights included the Drive for Good - Foundation Top Golf event, the annual Hunger Games, and exceptional cuisine from top chefs, making this year’s conference truly one to remember. On Monday, September 11th, Master Gunnery Sergeant Don Bartlett USMC led a moving tribute, reflecting on the events that occurred 23 years ago. His words reminded everyone of the unity, strength, and hope that emerged during that difficult time, and we commend his bravery and courage. During President’s Evening, President Raquel Weiss Fusco presented Amanda Beni, CSP with the prestigious President’s Award, celebrating her incredible work and commitment to SHFM. Amanda and her committee broke records for both sponsorships and attendance, reflecting the growth and importance of SHFM in supporting young professionals and shaping the future of the hospitality and food service industries. We’re also proud that our sister company, the Academy for Hospitality Arts (AHA), was a Silver Sponsor of this year’s conference.
