FastCasualSummit.com#FCsummit

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.
