MEG - Marketing Executives Group

The Marketing Executives Group (MEG) is a year‑round community built on the power of human connection. Each May in Chicago, MEG brings together restaurant marketing leaders—from the C‑suite to rising talent—to share experiences, spark ideas, and learn from one another ahead of the National Restaurant Association Show. MEG is where relationships deepen, conversations matter, and the industry’s most collaborative ideas take shape. Register here.
