About | 2025 IFDA Solutions Conference

FORWARD IN FOCUS

The only event designed by and made for professionals in food distribution.

The Solutions Conference is the premier event in the foodservice distribution industry—where leaders come together to shape the future of food distribution. This is where challenges meet solutions, connections spark innovation, and industry leaders deliver practical outcomes you can implement immediately.

When senior leaders from every corner of your organization—operations, IT, HR, safety + risk, sales and marketing—cut through the noise together, the result is clarity, alignment, and a unified path forward. Sessions span operational excellence in transportation, warehouse, and supply chain; the technologies driving automation and modernization; sales and marketing strategies to sharpen your competitive edge; and the people practices that strengthen your workforce.

This unique experience empowers organizations of all sizes to align strategy across departments, move forward with confidence, and achieve measurable business outcomes.

One Event. Every Leader. Focused Forward.

The IFDA SMart Conference is joining the IFDA Solutions Conference—and the result is the most comprehensive event in foodservice distribution.

For the first time, your entire leadership team can experience the same keynotes, engage with the same exhibitors, and build unified strategies under one roof. When your CMO and HR director leave the same session with the same vision—and your sales VP and operations manager align on the same priorities—your organization doesn’t just attend a conference. It moves forward as one.

This is not about combining two events. It is about creating something more powerful than either could offer alone.
