TRSA Executive Roundtables
Restaurant/F&B: February 6-8, 2012
Hotel/Lodging: February 8-9, 2012
Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, FL
TRSA Executive Roundtables offer an opportunity to network with colleagues serving similar markets to discuss operational and market specific issues impacting their niches of the textile services industry. The February Roundtables are the first TRSA meetings focused on these major markets, breaking valuable new ground for your business. Whether your company serves one or both of these markets or just wants to learn more about them, you’ll benefit greatly from this opportunity to:
- See the advanced technologies and practices deployed by Walt Disney World (WDW) Textile Services in handling laundry work for these types of businesses.
- Discuss with executives from companies participating in the Roundtables how laundry operations in general can serve F&B and hotel/lodging operations more effectively and efficiently.
- Shape the future of hotel laundering by guiding Matt Alexander, a veteran of operations, consulting and equipment supply for this segment of the industry, who will outline his firm's plans to develop TRSA’s new Hospitality Textile Life Cycle Survey.
- Explore opportunities for capturing new restaurant business as well as additional sales to existing such accounts as TRSA's Ken Koepper presents market-specific data from TRSA's 2012 Strategic Analysis of the Textile Services Industry.
On Wednesday, Feb. 8 both groups will tour WDW Textile Services’ facilities together. Launderers who serve F&B customers will have their roundtable discussions on Tuesday and execs in the Hotel/Lodging market will do the same on Thursday.

Go behind the scenes at the world’s most magical place with guided tours of three of the world’s most unique textile services facilities – Disney World’s F&B and Costume laundries and the behemoth Housekeeping textile services operation.
