The first Restaurant Trends seminar was held in 1993 at The Bay Tower Room in Boston, Massachusetts. The theme of that presentation was "How to Open and Operate a Successful Restaurant." Based on the record attendance and the success of that first venture, we agreed that the seminar should be an annual event.

The purpose of our seminars is to provide programs of substantive issues that enhance the professionalism of the industry and provide meaningful information. We help restaurant owners and operators to succeed in a very competitive market.

The Restaurant Trends seminars are sponsored by the real estate firm, The Boston Restaurant Group, Inc., the construction management firm Cafco Construction Management, Inc., the business law firm of Ruberto, Israel & Weiner, P.C., the insurance and financial services firm USI, and the media sponsor Boston Deals powered by Boston.com.
