We're full! Registration is now closed.

It’s our Fifth Annual Meeting and we’re celebrating sweet success, sharing our accomplishments, and highlighting our members who make it all happen. The cherry on top is our keynote speaker, Rick LaBerge, Chief Operating Officer of HARIBO of America, Inc., who will share how they’re innovating Sweet Success right here in Wisconsin.

We'll also feature a lineup of FaB members to share FaB’s Top Five Accomplishments to date and a look into what our next five years could look like.

And don’t expect dessert with your lunch — that’s our sweet twist afterwards. We’re not telling beer, brats, and cheese to move over, but to make room for our sweets! Extend your Fifth Annual Meeting experience at our SWEET SUITES as we raise funds for our host, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin.

Join us on November 7 and feel like a kid again. Mit freundlichen Grüßen (Best regards)!
