SEPT 8–10, 2026 | ATLANTA
WHO'S IN THE ROOM
From founders and CEOs to brand leaders and innovators, see the restaurant operators already registered for the 2026 summit.
CONNECT WITH THE INDUSTRY'S BRIGHTEST
The best part of any event is the people you meet. QSR Evolution brings together a powerful collective of operators and executives for deeper insights and stronger connections. We believe in transparency, which is why we show you exactly who is registering in real time. This is not a curated list or a marketing pitch. It is live data that updates as new people register, so you can see for yourself who is planning to be there.
As registration grows, so does this list. Check back often to see who has joined, and when you are ready, add your name to the roster. Your next meaningful conversation might already be on this page.
