Nearly 200 suppliers to the foodservice/hospitality industries will exhibit at the Sixth Annual International Foodservice Technology Exposition, including Founding Sponsors, IBM, MICROS Systems, Microsoft, and NCR Corporation.

A 36-session educational program will feature sessions on four tracks: E-Commerce/Supply Chain, Operational, Technical and Case Study. The future of technology, including emerging applications, will be the focus of two panel discussions from different perspectives -- a Vice Presidents' Panel of foodservice operators and an Executives' Panel of leading suppliers.

FS/TEC Technology Awards will be presented for Distinguished Achievement in foodservice technology. Team and Project Excellence Awards will honor companies for outstanding technology implementation.

FS/TEC 2001 is managed and produced by Nation's Restaurant News, the newsweekly of the foodservice industry, with Robert N. Grimes, Chairman and CEO of Cyntergy. For more information, call (212) 756-5245 or visit www.nrn.com and click on FS/TEC.
