January 2025
Double the Opportunity
The co-located 2024 Florida Restaurant Show and Pizza Tomorrow Summit were so successful that the event is being expanded to three days in 2025.
“The number-one reason people come to these shows now is to learn,” says Glenn Celentano, partner and CEO of Restaurant Events LLC, owner of the events. “Every restaurant operator has something that’s keeping them up at night, and the education is what really drives people to come. With two days, there’s not enough time to sit down and take in all the education and see the whole exhibit floor. Expanding to three days gives [attendees] that opportunity.”
