Women’s Foodservice Forum announced that Buffalo Wild Wings CEO Sally Smith, Coca-Cola Chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent and McDonald’s CEO Don Thompson will be keynote speakers for the 2015 WFF Annual Leadership Development Conference to be held on March 8-11 at the Orlando World Center Marriott in Orlando, Florida.

This year’s theme, "Changing the Face of Leadership," marks the culmination of a year-long celebration of WFF’s 25 year anniversary.

"It's amazing that WFF emerged out of the vision of 14 women who came together to discuss the state of women in foodservice 25 years ago and has blossomed into meeting the needs of our industry’s companies and thousands of individuals on an annual basis," said Hattie Hill, WFF president and chief executive officer, in a press release. "We expect nearly 3,000 women and men ranging from emerging leaders to mid-level, senior and C-suite executives in the foodservice industry from across the United States and Canada to attend this year’s conference."

The conference will feature numerous educational sessions on topics such as strategic thinking, increasing employee engagement and the art of leadership storytelling.

"We are pleased that Brinker International Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo and Sysco Corporation are among the top supporters of the 2015 WFF Annual Leadership Development Conference and are committed to our mission of advancing women leaders in our industry," said Hill.
