Registration is now open for this year’s Ashton Report E&S Market Forecast. The annual seminar, via Zoom, is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026. The one-day event runs from 9 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. Parts Town is once again the exclusive sponsor of this annual event, now in its 21st consecutive year.
The meeting will, as always, provide in-depth analysis and an overview of trends driving the foodservice equipment and supplies market. It includes our hard-number forecasts of E&S industry growth and lots more. We will continue to have guest speakers who will address issues including operator trends, materials pricing trends, logistics and supply chain trends. Parts Town will provide insights into how its initiatives and innovations continue to support the E&S market. David Henkes from Technomic, our friends from MAFSI, R.W. Baird, MetalMiner, consultant Peter Backman from the UK and David Wasserman from SPG Inc. will be on hand with the latest market data and trends. John Muldowney, my forecast partner since 2000, will once again lend his insight.
