The "Un-Conference"
We won't deliver boring speeches or Keynotes - instead you will be part of the action from minute one, make this as powerful for you as you want. This is your conference and Q&A will be the main collaboration for all sessions!

SELECTIVE

Participation is by invitation only for top-level restaurant executives – leaders and innovators of the fast casual industry. Our goal is to bring together an experienced group of professionals whose common interests and concerns are brought to the table for open discussion.

INTIMATE

Limited space is available for participants. With this setting, each of the participants will have the opportunity to address topics from industry concerns to individual brand issues AND get answers and processes to take back with them.

INTERACTIVE

The meeting will be structured around a series of collaboratives. Each collaborative will last 90-minutes and consist of a presentation of a specific topic, a small group discussion of related issues and a report back of key findings.
