Don't wait! Register now for NIFA's Supply Chain Summit as we tackle how franchisors, franchisees and suppliers are handling rising costs, inventory management, labor issues and strategic planning.
 
The luncheon will be held on Thursday, June 16, from 12-2 p.m. CT, at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!, located at 2024 N. Halsted Street in Chicago.
 
Regardless of the industry, supply chain managers and their teams are operating in extremely dynamic environments. Our panel of experts includes Victor Ravago, co-founder of Bravo Hospitality Group, and Daniel Kapella, Chief Supply Chain Officer for Jersey Mike's. The two franchise industry experts, and others on the panel, will arm you with thoughtful insights on overcoming the challenges of product shortages, pricing spikes, logistics and workforce.

We want to thank Associated for its support in delivering an educational experience for our members. Vice President, Julie Silverman, will be moderating the panel. Associated is a 131-year-old privately owned insurance and risk management advisor, committed to going above and beyond for employees, clients and carriers as to ensure a more secure future.
