Pizza Today - September 2022 - 49

community, " Oakley says. " For this
year's event we wanted to add a little
more excitement, so we're introducing
a new Calzone and Young Pizza
Maker of the Year competitions, as
well as a Happy Hour to close the
show that we think will be a big hit.
At this year's show attendees will
have an opportunity to learn from
renowned chefs, super successful
pizzeria owners and industry experts
that will help position their restaurants
for future success. We feel
attending Pizza & Pasta Northeast
will be one of the best, if not the best,
investments of time and money you'll
make this year that should pay dividends
for many years to come. "
Learn from the Best at PPNE
This year's education lineup is
second to none with comprehensive
deep-dive workshops, industry sessions
and demonstrations. " The sheer
volume of amazing content directly
from some of the most successful
pizzeria owners in the industry give
our conference program the reputation
it has as the industry leader, " Content
Director and Editor In Chief Jeremy
White says. " We take a lot of pride
in putting our programs together and
always ensure they are led by expert
professionals who actually get what
our attendees go through day to day.
You don't find motivational speakers
in our programs by design. We get
into the nuts and bolts! "
It's never more important to stay
on top of critical issues happening
in restaurants than right now. " We're
hearing from pizzeria owners that their
most prominent concerns surround
dealing with inflation, navigating the
labor shortage and growing online
ordering, " White says. " So we are taking
those topics directly head on with
experienced, successful speakers. Then,
of course, we're always going to cover
dough concerns and provide a variety
of on-point food demonstrations as
those have proven over the years to be
hugely popular because they translate
to immediate action once our attendees
return home to their pizza businesses. "
Attendees will leave Pizza & Pasta
Northeast with more knowledge to
make their restaurants better and
more profitable. " Attendees will find
a lot of value in this year's educational
program at the Pizza & Pasta
Northeast Show, " White says. " They'll
walk away from the program energized
and armed with knowledge
they can implement immediately to
improve their businesses. The program
is designed with their most pressing
needs in mind, and the overwhelming
majority of our speakers are in
the trenches operating pizzerias every
single day alongside our attendees.
They get it. "
