2008 Dine America Conference Another Success
QSR magazine has announced that the 2008 Dine America conference, held this year in Houston, Texas, was another success.
Houston, TX, April 29, 2008 --(PR.com)-- QSR® magazine, a publication for executives and operators in the food service industry, announced that the Fifth Annual Dine America Executive Idea Exchange conference was another success. This year's event took place April 6th - 8th at the Hilton Americas-Houston, in downtown Houston, Texas. More than 230 restaurant industry professionals were in attendance.
The 2008 Dine America Keynote speaker was Dr. Jerry Newman, author of My Secret Life on the McJob, and professor at SUNY Buffalo. Dr. Newman presented information about the employment marketplace for restaurant operators from his first-hand experience working in entry level positions at quick-service restaurants.
This is the second year that the state of Texas has played host to the Dine America conference. The 2007 event took place in Austin, Texas.
QSR Magazine is calling the event a great success. “This year was an especially good year to see so many executives from the foodservice industry attend the conference. A few days prior to the show, the media announced that due to March 2008 unemployment numbers the U.S. had officially moved into a economic recession,” said Kevin Donaldson, QSR's marketing director and executive director of the Dine America Conference. “We still had a wonderful group of folks attend mainly because the best features of this conference continue to be a small attendee base, involved sponsors, and relevant speakers and sessions.”
QSR Magazine has posted a number of video interviews from the conference floor on its website at http://www.qsrmagazine.com/resources/video/dineamerica.
