Crucial conversations about the foodservice industry are happening everywhere\u2014but not in the same room.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why Restaurants Canada created One Table<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an industry that\u2019s been buffeted by accelerating change, unprecedented innovation, and a fury of headwinds, genuine dialogue and purposeful connection can feel like luxuries. But as the pace of change increases, Restaurants Canada believes creating moments and spaces for leaders and thinkers to connect are necessities, and One Table is their inspired solution to addressing challenges and harnessing the potential of the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debuting this fall at The Warehouse, a vibrant venue that fuses industrial elegance with creative energy in Toronto\u2019s historic Downsview Park, One Table aims to disrupt the typical gala format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget stuffy speeches, tepid plates and predictable programs\u2014this night is about sparking meaningful conversations, transformative ideas, and new collaborations to drive Canada\u2019s foodservice and
hospitality sector forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a moment of profound transition\u2014not just in the economics of our industry, but in its
values, its structures, its sense of purpose,\u201d says Kelly Higginson, President and CEO of Restaurants Canada. \u201cCrucial conversations about our industry are happening everywhere, but not in the same room. That\u2019s why we created One Table to bring our leaders, visionaries and changemakers together to share the powerful ideas and forge new connections to help move foodservice and hospitality forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by acclaimed broadcaster Pay Chen, the evening\u2019s agenda balances structure with
spontaneity. Following an elevated networking event, guests will receive early access to the 2025 edition of Foodservice Facts, Restaurants Canada\u2019s flagship industry economic forecast and research report, equipping attendees with data and analysis to help inform bold decision-making. Chris Elliott, Restaurants Canada\u2019s Chief Economist & Vice President, Research, and Richard Alexander, Executive Vice President, Government Relations & Public Affairs will present the opportunities and strategies behind the numbers in the influential, must-read report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winners of the 2025 Restaurants Canada Awards of Excellence will be announced and recognized on stage, followed by a special session. These changemakers, innovators, and industry-defining leaders will participate in an unfiltered Awards of Excellence panel discussion, diving deep into the industry\u2019s toughest challenges and greatest opportunities. Expect insights that inspire, ideas that disrupt, and collaborations that catalyze real change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dress code is cocktail attire\u2014with a creative twist. Showcase your distinctive style and bring the vibrant energy and individuality Canada\u2019s hospitality industry is celebrated for. Think little black dress with an edible headpiece or a jacket with a creative, garnish-inspired pocket square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Table is more than an event\u2014it\u2019s your chance to sit down at the epicenter of industry
innovation. Don\u2019t miss the conversation that\u2019s shaping tomorrow\u2019s hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


YOUR SUPPORT FUELS THE INDUSTRY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a not-for-profit organization, Restaurants Canada reinvests every dollar\u2014from tickets, sponsorships, exhibits and activations\u2014into advocacy, research and programs that strengthen and support our members and the national foodservice community.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
