Meetings & Events

QCS meetings and conferences provide significant sources of information and solutions for challenges and opportunities facing the food and beverage industry. The meetings are also an opportune time to meet like-minded professionals, build upon existing relationships, and make lasting connections.

The annual QCS annual conference features educational breakout sessions, keynote presentations, business meetings,  award presentations (quality, collaboration, marketing & leadership), networking events, as well as our supply partner product displays. The QCS annual conference is a valuable opportunity for members and supply partners to communicate the issues most impacting their business, find and develop solutions, and discuss issues affecting both sides of the relationship.
