Hello from FSTEC.

2010 and 2011 were, and continue to be, years of change and transition.  This is no exception for FSTEC, which was co-founded in 1996 by Robert Grimes and Nation’s Restaurant News (NRN).  Last Fall, NRN became part of the Penton Restaurant Group and as part of this transition, FSTEC was re-aquired by Robert Grimes through Hostec Events.  NRN will continue to serve as our marketing partner. Hostec Events has been putting on Foodservice & Hospitality technology events around the world since 1999.

This is very opportune timing  for FSTEC, which in 2010 began a transition to focus more on education and networking, while highlighting foodservice technologies in a showcase fashion – away from the traditional tradeshow format of the past.   The latest transition allows this transformation to continue with an increasingly sharp focus, and offers even more ability for FSTEC to continue to provide its leadership and impact to the global foodservice technology marketplace.

The “New” FSTEC encompasses 2 main elements:

• Six 1-day regional technology events called FSTEC TechVents, in the Fall of 2011 and the Spring of 2012
• Annual International FSTEC Conference + Showcase to occur September 9-12, 2012 - Hyatt Regency Miami

This new focus will deliver foodservice technology in very focused and targeted “Bytes” with a local focus on operations while maintaining the “Gigabytes” annual gathering to provide unique networking and educational opportunities. 

These are indeed, very exciting times. Thank you for your continuing support.

Thanks to our Past FSTEC Sponsors for their support!
