IFBTA benefits far exceed those of typical opportunities and networking many food and beverage professionals are afforded today. The chance to connect consistently with like minded industry professionals tops the list of IFBTA benefits and others include:
- IFBTA Membership: Belong to more than a website! When you join the IFBTA, you’re joining a larger community of like minded, technology focused, food and beverage professionals looking to network, learn from each other, and brainstorm how to engage the industry with new innovations and solutions to everyday challenges. An IFBTA membership gives you a place to share your story and learn from those around you.
- Local Chapter Meetings: When you join an IFBTA chapter, you get the chance to meet with others in your community for a seat at the table. Food and beverage professionals meet, in-person, consistently throughout the year to discuss the most pertinent topics they face on a daily basis. Chapter meetings provide opportunities for operators to connect with their peers as well as supplier representatives to brainstorm solutions to today’s most pressing challenges and discuss the innovations and successes they’ve seen in their businesses.
- IFBTA Events & Celebrations of Technology Nationwide: Throughout the year, the IFBTA holds various networking and education events nationwide. Participants have the opportunity to network with peers on a global scale – something they don’t typically have at the local level – and can better understand how the food and beverage industry at-large sees the role of technology and the ways it can shape innovation and change.
- Ten Annual White Papers: IFBTA membership includes access to 10 white papers annually and a member dashboard to share experiences, solutions, and innovations. IFBTA white papers focus on the most pertinent topics of the food and beverage industry and data that drives real-world revenue and profit you can take back and use in your business.
- CFTP Certification Program: The IFBTA created a first of its kind, technology certification program – the Certified Foodservice Technology Professional certification. IFBTA members gain access to this program; a perfect solution for both the novice and experienced industry professional. Created and recognized by leading industry experts, educators, and operators, the CFTP program is comprised of 20 modules covering topics including technology trends, HRIS, loyalty and CRM, delivery, POS and Back Office, RFPs, and more.
- Community: When you join the IFBTA, you have access to a digital Community where you can post resources, ask questions, and communicate directly with fellow members. The Community is a private group to network virtually and collectively brainstorm with the industry on ways to improve the technology ecosystem and better the industry as a whole.
- The IFBTA Xchange: The Xchange is an all-encompassing, food and beverage technology directory that can be sorted and filtered by company or product, applications, offerings, geography, and more. The Xchange allows users to source the technology offerings needed to better their business and innovate daily.
- Virtual Chapter Meetings & Webinars: The IFBTA coordinates Virtual Chapter Meetings and Webinars to shed light on today’s most pressing topics both in and out of the food and beverage industry. By including presentations on technology not specific to food and beverage, participants gain a better understanding of the innovations and advancements in technology that could be applied to their own businesses. Thought leaders and industry experts lead the calls to help participants better understand the ways in which technology can enhance their business and increase their ROI.
