MenuMasters 2020 Update as of March 19, 2020

We are excited to plan the 2020 Nation’s Restaurant News MenuMasters Celebration, sponsored by Ventura Foods on May 16th in Chicago, and we want nothing more than to celebrate with you!

We are committed to this great industry — now more than ever as we face extreme disruption — and believe the people and brands behind bold menu innovation and memorable customer experience is what makes hospitality a special community. We are with you.
 
The health and safety of our event guests and the foodservice community is our highest priority. In this regard, we are monitoring the emerging and rapidly evolving Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation closely. We will make a final assessment over the next few weeks; and based on new and evolving developments or updated information, we will promptly notify you regarding the status of the 2020 MenuMasters Celebration accordingly.  

In the meantime, please feel free to submit your request to receive an invitation and/or to be kept informed regarding the 2020 MenuMasters Celebration.
