As always, we are very grateful to all our speakers, sponsors and delegates for their contributions over the years. Without all your support, we could not make the Summit such a great success! We welcome you to learn more about the Summits this year, as we come back IN-PERSON and expand to the West Coast!
What we are planning
Canadian Restaurant Investment & Leadership Summit 2022!
On November 3rd in Toronto and on November 10th in Vancouver, we will be hosting the annual Restaurant Summit that focuses on delivering thought leadership around the industry's most topical issues. CEOs and executives from leading brands along with industry experts, will share their perspectives on the future of the foodservice industry in Canada.
Here is a sneak peek at how the agenda for the Summits is being developed in both cities.
2022 CANADIAN CHAIN RESTAURANT INDUSTRY REVIEW
All attendees will receive a complimentary digital copy of the 2022 Canadian Chain Restaurant Industry Review – a comprehensive analysis and factual overview of market shares, revenue trends, costs, consumer behaviours, and the overall state of chain foodservice industry in Canada. The Review is a collaborative effort between CWB Franchise Finance, fsSTRATEGY, and The NPD Group Canada.
Session # 1
The Foodservice State of the Nation
The restaurant industry has navigated through unprecedented times over the last two years. As we dare to enter a state of 'back to normal' we cannot ignore the disruption and innovation that is unfolding in the industry. What is the current state of the foodservice industry and what does the future look like post-pandemic, and in these volatile economic times?
Join us as we kick-off the 12th annual Canadian Restaurant Investment & Leadership Summit with the Foodservice State of the Nation presentation.
For the eighth consecutive year, The NPD Group and CWB Franchise Finance will explore consumer, economic and financial trends, and how they are impacting the restaurant industry. During this presentation they will cover:

Session # 2

The panelists will cover a range of topics including:
Session # 3
Hot Topic Panel Discussion
What is the Foodservice industry of tomorrow going to look like? The entire industry is being disrupted from all angles including labour, technology, the economy, supply chain and consumer behaviour. In 2022, it is hard to talk about one emerging trend or hot topic the industry is facing; a holistic overview of all the trends, obstacles and innovations that are erupting, paint a much better picture of exactly where the industry may be headed.
Join our discussion on the hot topics trending in the industry to hear operators, tech experts, and industry leaders discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of Foodservice.
