Dates set for RLC 2014

The Restaurant Leadership Conference will reconvene next year at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona on March 30 through April 2.

The theme of the 2014 conference is Differentiation: The Fuel to Growth.

"We've just come off our biggest, most successful and highest-rated conference since we started the RLC in the 1990s, but I have no doubt we’re going to top it next year, given what we’re planning," said RLC president David Jobe.

RLC is an invitation-only event for the C-suite-level leaders of the chain restaurant business. Attendance is drawn from the franchisee community as well as chain headquarters.

RLC, a sister operation of Restaurant Leadership magazine and Monkeydish.com, is presented by CSP Business Media.
