The seminar, Fresh Insights for Foodservice Spring 2020 Trends, is at 2 p.m. Eastern May 14. Registration is online.

Sarah Grady, the U.S. strategic supply chain manager at McDonald’s and chairwoman of the United Fresh Retail-Foodservice Board, will moderate the seminar. Mike Kostyo, trendologist at Datassential, will provide analysis, according to a United Fresh release. There will be a question-and-answer period as well.
