This conference has been designed especially for commercial and industrial sales representatives, supervisors, managers, directors and vice presidents of marketing. The conference offers a unique opportunity for attendees to learn about new technologies, future trends and ways to increase market share and loads in the commercial and industrial market areas.

Basic Gas Food Service Marketing Course
The SGA Commercial Marketing Committee and the Gas Foodservice Equipment Network (GFEN) co-sponsor this four-day course, which is held at Piedmont Natural Gas Company's Gas Cooking Technology Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The delivery of the course material is both classroom style and hands-on.
The course covers basic operations of foodservice equipment, including types of equipment on the market today and their uses. The overall objective for the participant is to gain knowledge of commercial foodservice equipment; air quality; and how design, industry trends and new technology all influence the buying decision. Participants are taught by both experienced gas company professionals as well as professionals from outside the industry.

Commercial Foodservice Marketing Conference
The SGA Marketing Section sponsors this conference every two years in conjunction with the North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers (NAFEM) Meeting and Exhibition. SGA is pleased to have the Gas Foodservice Equipment Network (GFEN) as a co-sponsor of this year's meeting. If your company is a member of GFEN, you do not have to pay a non-member fee to attend this year's Commercial Foodservice Marketing Conference. NAFEM's goal is to bring attendees face to face with the most innovative products the industry has to offer, and we encourage you to schedule your marketing representatives' travel plans in order that they can tour the entire NAFEM Exhibit.
