Event Description: Every June the Sodexo Universities Division in Alabama hosts a Client Summer Meeting in Birmingham, for our university partner institutions in Alabama, that includes a barbecue dinner reception, a golf outing, accommodations, and hospitality for the event. This year we plan to host this event on June 21st and 22nd.This gathering is an opportunity for officials of the universities where we provide our services to interact with a variety of key subject experts in our company on the latest trends and service offerings for universities, such as sustainability, benefits of energy saving foodservice equipment, etc. It also gives them an opportunity to network with their peers from the other institutions and discuss best practices. Additionally, before the evening reception, we will include an education piece that will entail a presentation and resource materials. This year we will address the prevalence of students with sensitivities and allergic reactions to the 8 most common allergens, and the programs and steps that Sodexo takes at universities across the country to safely offer food options, educate and protect these students. We also use this opportunity to brainstorm with our clients on how to address these issues and determine emergency protocols on their campus. Our Sodexo representatives are available during the golf event, as well, allowing further discussion on the variety of industry topics and trends.
