(and FUN!!)

Educational Symposiums FOR THE WIN! The second AmTab K-12 Symposium is in the books! If you haven’t been to a symposium yet, what are you waiting for?

Let’s take an inside look into the AmTab Spring Symposium. Guests arrived in Chicago on April 5th to begin their two-day event of fun and learning. The event started off with a meet and greet happy hour at the Rose Hotel. School nutrition directors from all across the country were able to network and talk with each other. We had directors from Washington, California, Idaho, D.C., Florida, Texas, and many more states join the event. After our happy hour, the group went to have dinner and play bocce ball. It was a great ice breaker and everyone had a great time. The next day was the educational portion of the symposium. Directors arrived at 7:45am for breakfast, which was catered to by Panera bread. At nine am sharp, the action- packed day began! We had help from some very knowledgeable companies like Menu Logic K12 and NuFood Consultants. MenuLogic K12 delivered a great CEU class that focused on maximizing the resources you have at your current district and saving money. NuFood’s CEU spoke about capital planning

and everything that goes into modernizing your space.

In addition to those amazing learning sessions, directors took a tour of AmTab’s 300,000 sq ft facility to see and learn about the modernization process. Getting to see how the award winning, American made furniture, signage, graphics, and décor are made presents directors a unique opportunity that standard conferences don’t allow. Finishing up the event, guests traveled to beautiful downtown Chicago for some dining at the famous John Hancock building on the 95th floor. It was a perfect ending to a two-day event filled with learning, networking, and a lot of fun! A big thank you to NxtGen Network for helping set this all up alongside MenuLogic K12 and NuFood Consultants. If you would like to join in on this incredible event there is good news! AmTab is having their third symposium THIS FALL. Be sure to let us know if you might be interested in attending the next event!
