While many of our formal learning opportunities take place during Sponsor Meetings and Account Reviews, we’re also launching FSR-U, a bi-monthly roundtable discussion of all things Foodservice Rewards.

We’ll bring you together through conference and Webcast technology on the 2nd Tuesday of January, March, May, July, September, and November from 11 AM to 12 PM Central Time.
