About the Marketing Executives Group (MEG)
The Marketing Executives Group (MEG) is the signature event for the Marketing Expert Exchange Community, a community of restaurant marketing professionals who are connected 365 days a year and come together every May in Chicago preceding the National Restaurant Association Show. MEG raises the level of industry excellence by connecting, inspiring, teaching and challenging each other through the exchange of ideas, thought leadership and best practices.
The MEG 2023 Conference will be held May 17-19, 2023, at the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel in Chicago. Register today! Questions? Contact MEG Program Manager, Jaclyn Sanford at jsanford@restaurant.org.
