How it works: Operators (restaurant/hospitality owners, managers, and employees) can select up to five (5) preferred experts to meet 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.
