Held in Washington, DC from March 10 through March 12, the event draws between 500 and 1,000 attendees, putting restaurant operators and industry stakeholders directly in front of policymakers and regulatory discussions. The format centers on issues that shape day-to-day operations, from labor law to food safety standards, making the agenda practical rather than theoretical.
