This educational conference will focus on culinary trends from past to current and take a look at what is to come. You’ll have the opportunity to meet colleagues from the kitchen to the cellar, see new equipment demos and tour farms, breweries (Denver is the microbrew capital after all), cheese producers, etc. – you’ll be able to taste, drink and savor.

On hands demonstrations from the best in the industry; Tia Harrison and Mark DeNittis, Alex Seidel and Lon Symensma as well as chef Akira Back (competitor on Iron Chef America). Beverage demonstrations with Marnie Old and top mixologist from around the country.

Not to be forgotten are breakouts on factors that affect your business outside of the kitchen with breakouts like "What the Yelp?, Social Media and Customer Loyalty to Getting the Most Out of Open Table.

Join us and learn from your the best and network with your colleagues.
