Young Professional Testimonials
“Young professionals are shaping the future of the industry, because we're the ones who have to take care of it at the end of the day, right? We're working towards building our own networks and making our connections, and so many people have amazing ideas. Some of these people that we've been meeting may become future founders someday, or might be burgeoning chefs, so it's really exciting to see the people that I meet year after year grow in their careers just as I've grown in mine.”
– Helen Ralowicz-Chapman, Strategic Growth Partner, Marquee
"The Show is a great place to understand the industry and see what's coming next. It’s essential for young professionals to be here to operate better and discover new opportunities."
– Henry Nahum, Co-founder, Orders2Me
“As a young professional myself, I have been able to talk to so many people who are mentors who have been in this industry for years, and who have little tips and tricks and things to think about how we can work together. Even if we're not selling or buying the same items, or even if we're just adjacent to each other in the industry, simply having this sort of wealth and knowledge at my fingertips is incredible.”
– Annie Trinh, Marketing & Product Design, Jensen Tuna
