With vast experience in the food and beverage industry and a passion for empowering women to succeed, Randi Weinstein launched the FAB Conference in 2016 as a platform where hospitality professionals from across the country come to learn, educate, inform, network, connect and collaborate. This year, the sold-out FAB Conference celebrates its 10th anniversary at the William Aiken House, the American Theater and Parcel 32 from June 7-9, during which 500 participants will attend presentations led by 71 speakers covering 65 topics. Each session is relevant to where an attendee is in the arc of her business. While budding restaurateurs learn how to tighten their concept, build a pitch deck and secure funding, seasoned entrepreneurs gain insight into subjects such as navigating conflict, effective delegation, tax and financial planning, workplace law, sustainability, growth and much more. "By harnessing the resources FAB provides, women leave knowing that they can truly do what they want to do," Weinstein said. "This is an invincible bunch." She added that beyond the classroom, participants have opportunities to interact with their peers. Those connections often lead to collaborations and lifelong friendships.
