This week, on a very special episode of Beyond the Shelf, we spoke with Chris Fardiniya, ChefsBest's Chief Business Development Officer. Last month, Chris had the pleasure of attending and representing ChefsBest at the 2022 Velocity Institute Innovation Expo + Conference, one of the largest gatherings for private brands, manufacturers, agencies, and other service providers. We sat down with him to discuss what leading experts in the private brand industry are discussing and what he learned from attending the conference. He shared with us why private brands are pushing the boundaries of the food & beverage industry by being bold and innovative, as well as what the future has in store for the growing market.
