DFW RESTAURANT & BAR CONFERENCE

Denney Law Group's Annual Restaurant & Bar Conference

Our TENTH ANNUAL Restaurant & Bar Conference is presented for restaurant and bar owners, executives, and managers. Join fellow restaurateurs, bar owners, and food and beverage operators as the attorneys of Denney Law Group and our guests present short sessions on hot topics currently impacting the restaurant and bar industry.

Each year the topics we cover include growing your business (units, profit, team, etc.), risk management, employment law, and legislative updates, as well as operational strategies for your restaurant/bar/food venue - followed by a networking cocktail hour (or two).

The current agenda includes sessions on:

Employment/Wage & Hour Updates: the newly-infamous Perry's Steakhouse case, the rise of employee claims, etc...
Legal Updates: TABC/alcohol law, risk management, restaurant/bar leases, and more.
2026 Economic Outlook for the F&B industry, presented by our friends from JPMorgan Private Bank.
Restaurateur Panel: A Starring Role - the pros and cons of putting your restaurant on TV featuring Jay Jerrier, Adam Jones, and Matt Tobin.
Panel Discussion: The Experience Economy: crafting your concept to compete in 2026 and beyond.
3rd Annual Book Club (time permitting): a mini-session discussing Michael Easter's Scarcity Brain: Fix Your Craving Mindset and Rewire Your Habits to Thrive with Enough - a great read for owners looking to navigate the psychological drivers of consumer behavior, optimize resource allocation, and foster a more sustainable, "abundance-focused" corporate culture.
Networking Happy Hour with your closest restaurant friends (who you never get to see)!

...and more to come as we finalize the agenda!
