Meet the Experts

2025 Meet the Experts Date: TBA

Meet the Experts features over a dozen industry experts for an afternoon of speed coaching and power networking.

This event offers restaurant and hospitality operators the opportunity to connect one-on-one with some of the most successful restaurateurs in the business, plus experts in HR, public relations, law, accounting, energy, licensing, insurance, and more.

How it works: Operators (restaurant/hospitality/foodservice owners, management, and restaurant leadership) can select up to five (5) topics to be paired with during the event for 15-minute sessions. Consider it an ideal opportunity to ask questions, get advice, and exchange business information to keep the conversation going in the future. It's speed coaching and power networking at its finest.

Registration is $25 for restaurant members. Vendors and service providers are unable to sign up for dedicated time with experts and only able to join the networking if sponsoring.
