Join us in kicking off our inaugural event!
PIZZA INDUSTRY EMPOWERS Conference
A multi-day event geared towards uniting, educating, and uplifting underrepresented people in the pizza industry. These groups make up a large portion of the hospitality industry from the Front of House to the Back of House and everywhere in between. This conference is meant to advance our industry forward by empowering women and minorities with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their businesses or chosen professions.
