Join Us for the 2021 Virtual Expo!
The Mid-America Restaurant Expo & Conference has made the difficult decision to postpone our in-person show for 2021. Based on the information we have, this is the right decision for our exhibitors, speakers, attendees, employees and communities as we adjust to the changing marketplace and COVID conditions. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local public health agencies as we explore future dates for the Expo.
We are excited to present the first ever virtual Expo & Conference October 31 – November 2, 2021. We look forward to offering you the same engaging presentations from industry experts and access to the newest products and services on the market. We are working hard to finalize these details and will have more information over the course of the coming weeks. Please check back here for the most current information.
