Answers Systems Sponsors Trade Promotion Management Masters Forum, February 6 – 8, 2008, at Innisbrook Resort, FL

Oldsmar, Florida: Answers Systems Inc., the leading technology solutions provider to the Foodservice industry, has announced its sponsorship of the February 2008 Trade Promotion Management (TPM) Masters Forum, led by Foodservice University®. The TPM Masters Forum is the culmination of the 2007 Foodservice University Forum trade promotion management webinar series, also sponsored by Answers Systems Inc.

The conference, scheduled for February 6 – 8, 2008, will be held at Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club in Palm Harbor, Florida. The speaker roster features panelists from SYSCO Corporation; Steve Potter, Senior Vice President of Industry Relations for the International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA); and Jim Klass, National Director of Food & Beverage for Hitachi Consulting. Additionally, panels will feature speakers from leading foodservice operators, manufacturers, and brokers.

“This interactive MASTERS Workshop is a natural progression from our highly successful TPM Webinar series,” according to Tom Rector, the facilitator for the Foodservice University Forum webinars. “Our goal from the beginning has been to establish a dialogue throughout the foodservice supply chain, working across channels to uncover the Best Practices for Trade Promotion Management, and to create a roadmap for others to follow.”

“Too many conferences have a built-in bias toward a particular industry segment. Our only bias is to improve the overall productivity and performance of the process,” states Bud Hilton, CEO of Answers Systems Inc., the series and workshop underwriter.

Industry professionals can register for the conference by calling Answers Systems at (800) 225-6127 or visiting www.foodserviceu.com and follow the links to the registration form.
