The Global Restaurant Leadership Conference Seeks Nominations For Inaugural Distinction Awards

CHICAGO, Aug. 18, 2016 /CNW/ -- Winsight, LLC—a leading facilitator of major convenience retailing and foodservice industry networking events—will debut its Global Restaurant Leadership Conference at the JW Marriott Marquis in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from October 10-12.

GRLC is the first event of its kind bringing the most progressive operators, U.S. franchisors, international franchisees and the industry's top suppliers together for three days of networking and education.

As both a speaker at and a sponsor of GRLC, Technomic—recently acquired by Winsight and the "go-to" source for food and foodservice industry insights—has created the Global Restaurant Leadership Distinction Awards to recognize restaurant brands that excel in the global marketplace through four categories: innovation, community service, brand licensing and expansion.

"Increasingly, restaurant brands are looking beyond their borders for growth in the global marketplace," said Darren Tristano, President of Technomic https://www.technomic.com/. "Operators must stay focused on innovating their offerings, supporting the industry and continuing to grow profitably."

Each nomination will be thoroughly reviewed by a panel of industry experts and restaurateurs led by Tristano, President of Technomic. The winners will be announced onstage during GRLC's Opening General Session.
