CSRA 2026 Annual Meeting
Together We Win
This year's meeting has been intentionally structured to maximize collaboration across our State Restaurant Associations and the National Restaurant Association.
Whether you're joining as a CEO, Government Affairs leader, Foundation representative, Marketing & Communications professional, Membership leader, national chain leader, or State/National association staff member, you'll leave Nashville with stronger relationships, aligned priorities, and practical strategies to take home.
