Recovery and Resiliency: How Can We Build a Better Model for Hospitality?
Toronto ON. Terroir Symposium 2021, the annual hospitality industry conference returns virtually from November 8th to 17th.
In its 15th iteration, Terroir announces a new program and format this year with an eye toward the future. Restaurants and the supply chain that supports the industry have experienced their share of challenges within the past year but despite that, it has shown tenacity and strength, and it’s not going anywhere but up. Terroir and partners are at the helm, providing a platform for connections to be made, ideas to be shared and together, as a community, change for the better can be created.
This year’s Terroir will be showcasing inspirational and educational programming, over two weeks, online, with tickets available at www.terroirsymposium.com. A new addition to Terroir’s lineup is SaveHospitalityCA, of which 10% of ticket sales will be donated. SH.ca has created a powerful coalition of independent Canadian restaurateurs and suppliers that lobbies all levels of government to support the industry. Additional support for the symposium will come from marketing partners in Western Canada, Food Tourism Strategies and Culinary Marking Strategies, both based in Calgary Alberta. Tickets are available now here.
