IPM will be sponsoring the Food World Summit, taking place Oct. 5-7, 2026 in Grapevine, Texas. The summit brings together senior manufacturing, operations, supply chain, quality, and food safety leaders to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of food production.
As part of this year’s program, IPM Executive Vice President Scott Grzesiak will lead the lunch session “Building a Balanced Supply Chain Network: When to Consolidate and When to Diversify.” The discussion will explore practical approaches for building a resilient supply chain while optimizing to ensure cost savings.
Along with Grzesiak, IPM Operational Excellence Practice Senior Director Virgil Yumo, Business Process and Technology Optimization Director Joel Isreal, and Consumer Products Director Gabriel Yoder will be available throughout the summit to connect with attendees and discuss operational excellence, supply chain performance, manufacturing transformation, and execution strategies that help organizations deliver results.
Whether you’re focused on improving supply chains, increasing operational efficiency, reducing costs, strengthening quality performance, or executing strategic manufacturing initiatives, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect.
Schedule time with the IPM team during Food World Summit 2026.
