One of the most exclusive gatherings for restaurant and foodservice executives, franchisors and franchisees just ended. The Global Restaurant Leadership Conference (GRLC) held in Dubai November 10-13 brought together foodservice experts, culinary professionals and some of the most forward-thinking minds of the global restaurant industry to engage on current trends, innovation, disruption, and the future. More than 120+ speakers and 1,200+ attendees came together to talk about the next big things in global foodservice.
