Connections, Innovation, and Fresh Inspiration at The Foodservice Conference 2025

From July 31 to August 1, 2025, Monterey, CA once again became the epicenter of produce innovation and foodservice inspiration as industry leaders gathered for The Foodservice Conference. This annual event is more than a meeting — it’s the anchor of the foodservice year, a place where ideas spark, collaborations form, and the freshest trends take center stage.

Tailored exclusively for the produce-in-foodservice sector, the conference brought together operators, distributors, chefs, K-12 school nutrition professionals, retail foodservice buyers, grower-shipper-processors, and solutions providers from across the country. Attendees explored the latest products, tasted culinary innovations, and connected with partners who share a passion for elevating the foodservice experience.

Representing Prophet North America, Bryan Barsness attended and enjoyed reconnecting with long-time friends, valued customers, and new industry contacts. “The conversations were inspiring, and it’s always energizing to share ideas with people who truly understand the opportunities and challenges in our field,” Bryan shared.

With its dynamic expo, thought-provoking sessions, and unparalleled networking, The Foodservice Conference continues to be the go-to event for anyone seeking their “next big thing” in foodservice — whether that’s a game-changing product, a strategic partnership, or a fresh spark of creativity.

Until next year, Monterey!
