The Food Production Solutions Association (FPSA) has recently announced the opening of registration for its flagship event, now rebranded as the Food Solutions Exchange & Conference 2025 (FSX). This industry-leading conference is scheduled to take place from March 19–21 at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass in Phoenix, marking a strategic expansion of the former FPSA Annual Conference. The goal of FSX is to create the most comprehensive gathering of food production innovators in the industry.
One of the key highlights of FSX is the inclusion of food producers, equipment manufacturers, and service providers, reflecting the interconnected nature of modern food production. Central to this transformation is “The Hub,” a dynamic showcase and networking space designed to showcase cutting-edge technologies and facilitate meaningful connections across the industry.
FSX 2025 will feature two keynote speakers who have made significant impacts in their respective industries. Sam Bertram, CEO of vertical farming innovator OnePointOne, will open the conference with an interactive session sharing how his company’s collaborative approach to innovation has led to an automated plant production system that is revolutionizing the food industry. Closing keynote speaker Frank Yiannas, former FDA Deputy Commissioner, brings decades of transformative leadership in food safety, from pioneering new systems at Disney and Walmart to shaping national policy at the FDA. He will address the future of science-based food protection in a rapidly evolving global market.
Allison Wachter, VP of engagement and business development at FPSA, emphasized the significance of FSX 2025 as a catalyst for the future of food production. By bringing together food producers, OEMs, and service providers in one venue, the conference aims to create unprecedented opportunities for partnership and innovation.
