Te upcoming conference hosted by FCSI Asia Pacific in Vietnam offers participants learning experiences and networking opportunities, as the Division’s chair Ben Gregoire outlines
I
’m pleased to extend a personal invitation to everyone in our industry to attend the FCSI Asia Pacific Conference, taking place in Hoi An, Vietnam, July 24–27, 2025. We’re thrilled to invite foodservice
consultants, hospitality professionals, and industry leaders from around the world to join us for CIRCLE 2025 – a three-day event that brings together the brightest minds in the business to connect, collaborate, and shape the future of foodservice. FCSI Professional members will
receive a special incentive: conference fees waived and three nights’ accommodation at New World Hoiana Resort rebated. Expect a high-energy program
packed with thought-provoking panels, immersive workshops, and hands-on experiences addressing today’s most pressing challenges and most exciting innovations. Whether you’re seeking fresh perspectives, meaningful connections, or practical tools to elevate your work, CIRCLE 2025 is the place to be.
At FCSI, we believe in the power of
shared knowledge, mutual support, and bold ideas. Tis conference is the ultimate expression of that mission. Join us for insightful keynotes, off-site study tours, and unforgettable networking moments in one of Southeast Asia’s most captivating destinations. Let’s be honest – great ideas don’t happen in isolation. Tey’re sparked over dinner, during a heated debate, or when someone says, “Wait… hear me out.” Tat’s the spirit of CIRCLE
2025: getting the right people in the room (or by the pool, or at the bar...) to have the conversations that push our industry forward. Our theme this year is CIRCLE –
short for Conversations on Resilience, Innovation, Collaboration, Leadership, and Evolution. In other words, the qualities that truly matter when navigating the highs, lows, and curveballs of hospitality and foodservice.
We’re proud to
feature a diverse lineup of industry leaders who will share their expertise and bold ideas for the future of foodservice, including:
