Danny Meyer will keynote the 2027 Bar & Restaurant Expo, according to BevNET.com, bringing one of the country’s best-known restaurateurs to an event with deep relevance for Las Vegas operators, workers and job seekers. Meyer founded Union Square Hospitality Group and has long been a leading voice in the business of service.

BevNET said the Expo is produced by Forge. While the announcement is about a 2027 event, the news still lands now for a city where hospitality is a major employer and where trends in food, beverage and service often start on the Strip before spreading into neighborhoods.

For local restaurant owners, managers and aspiring operators, a keynote from Meyer is the kind of signal that the Expo remains a serious industry forum rather than a trade-show afterthought. In a market as competitive as Las Vegas, that matters: the next wave of concepts often depends on who is in the room and what ideas they bring home.

Details & Information: The Bar & Restaurant Expo is produced by Forge. More information is available from BevNET.com.
