The Fast Casual Executive Summit is a unique opportunity

for everyone involved. Much more than “just another trade

show,” it’s a chance for restaurant executives to get together

in a casual work setting and learn from one another. Interactive

sessions delve deep into topics that are on the minds of

restaurant leaders today, and the Summit’s format allows the

collective wisdom “in the room” to be distilled into concrete,

actionable ideas that attendees take home with them.

For sponsors, the opportunity is also unique – rather than just

standing at a booth waiting for someone to walk up, sponsors

of the Summit are integrated into the action, building solid

relationships with new industry prospects over the course

of the event. The attendees are the decision-makers of the

restaurant industry, and sponsorship of the Summit is the only

way to get access to them, all at once.

FOR BUSINESS


“The conference has been great. Really good content. I’ve been really

impressed with the people that are in attendance. It’s not just marketing.

It’s not just operations. But you get a well-rounded group of folks. Some

really interesting conversations and I’ve learned a lot. We will definitely

be here next year.” - Ryan Weisert, MomentFeed

“Thanks for the great show. Really enjoyed the panel and hope it helped

the show as well. Looking forward to next year.”

- Shane Wheatland, Omnivore

“One of the best conferences I’ve been to in quite a while!”

Michelle Harden, Messner Reeves

“Great event! Hats off to your team for maintaining an impactful event.

Unlike many others we attend, it’s not a 3-day dog and pony show.

Instead, our team has great networking opportunities, can find leaders

in the industry and has the opportunity to engage in knowledgeable

conversations about the future of fast casual. The food tour is the perfect

kickoff to this high-level event!”

- Sarah Bessette, Steritech

“Certainly, if fast casual is one of your verticals or sub-segments, I think

this is a great place to meet executives.” - Amir Hudda, Qu

fast casual community.” - Rob Pellicano, Custom Culinary
