ABOUT THE EVENT
See last year's UNconference
Phoenix, April 2026. 40 restaurant leaders, two days of off-the-record conversations, zero panels. Here's the recap.
1.5 days. No Lengthy panels or filler content.
Ideas you can actually use
Hands-on discussions in a small-group format with people running programs at a similar scale and complexity to yours. No generic frameworks — we're talking specifics, in dollars and cents.
Proof points from the field
Restaurant operators take the floor for short, structured overviews: the strategy, the hypothesis, the implementation, the result. Then we open it up. The format keeps conversations grounded in reality instead of drifting into "it depends.”
The connections that don't happen at bigger events.
The evening of April 22nd kicks off with a welcome reception at the Global Ambassador, followed by a networking event (last year: Electric Pickle — yes, pickleball). April 23rd wraps with a Michelin-starred rooftop dinner at théa. Informal breakfast in between. This is not the Fairfield Inn.
