 Hey There
Here is a little note from the Founders
The Fast Food & Cafe Convention was launched in
2017 with an ambitious vision to create a platform for
all stakeholders in the QSR, Cafe, Fast Casual, Cloud
Kitchen, casual dining and the F&B industry which we
are excited to say, has gradually become a reality –
the event has grown over the last 4 editions and we
are overwhelmed by the staggering support from the
Industry.

We are now steaming ahead with the avidity and

enthusiasm of children in an amusement park and
we hope to bring the entire community together
on this adventure!

Thank you

Mini & George

life much simpler? Well, that’s
precisely what we do with our
business meeting tool.
Pre Scheduled
Meetings
There’s always a lot more that gets
revealed in one-to-one discussions.
We bring in senior leaders with a
ton of experience and get them on-
stage for a chat that is sure to
benefit you. This will be followed by
an audience Q&A.
Fireside
chats
While in person events are a brilliant
& arguably the best way to network,
the benefits of creating
connections virtually are great too
(there is a reason Linkedin is so
awesome), FFCC caters to the best
both worlds, giving you an
opportunity to bump fists or elbows
or just wave at your peer from the
comfort of your home.
In person &
Virtual
We believe that each one of us
have ideas that can be useful. We
give you an opportunity to voice
your thoughts, by being an active
part of roundtable discussions on
topics that matter the most to you.
