This reception welcomes the newest Accelerator cohort into the Prosper community, creating a space to connect, build relationships, and step into the experience ahead with intention. As these emerging leaders gather prior to the opening general session, the moment will be framed by two complementary leadership perspectives, one centered on the responsibility to lead with a people-first mindset and invest in those around you, and the other grounded in the belief that each individual has been chosen for this opportunity and called to step forward with purpose. Together, this reception sets the tone for the journey ahead, inviting the cohort to show up fully, engage deeply, and embrace both the responsibility and possibility of their leadership.

The most pressing leadership challenge today isn’t strategy, technology, or talent. It’s connection. Disconnection is quietly eroding team performance, client loyalty, and organizational culture. In a hybrid world defined by polarization and distraction, the leaders who win are those who know how to build meaningful relationships at every level.
Drawing from Riaz’s years of experience interviewing top executives, innovators, and industry leaders, this keynote gives Prosper Forum leaders a practical framework for making every conversation a competitive advantage.
Executives will leave with strategies to:

In a time where technology is accelerating, roles are evolving, and the pace of business continues to intensify, one thing remains constant, relationships are still the foundation of meaningful leadership. This session with Riaz Meghji explores how intentional, human-centered conversations shape trust, influence, and long-term impact inside organizations and across the industry.
Drawing from his work and perspective on connection, presence, and storytelling, Riaz will challenge leaders to rethink how they show up in everyday interactions, from high-stakes decisions to simple, often overlooked moments. As the world of work continues to shift, the ability to build authentic relationships, create belonging, and lead with empathy becomes not just a soft skill, but a strategic advantage.
This conversation will invite leaders to reflect on the quality of their relationships, the consistency of their presence, and the role they play in creating environments where people feel seen, valued, and inspired to grow.

The strongest organizations do not simply hire talent. They intentionally develop it. In an industry shaped by labor pressure, turnover, and rapid expansion, leadership development has become a strategic priority for companies seeking consistency, performance, and long-term growth. This session explores how executives design systems that identify potential early, invest in capability building, and promote from within to strengthen culture and execution. Leaders will examine how structured development programs, mentorship, and clear career pathways improve retention, reduce turnover, and create alignment across complex organizations. The conversation will also highlight how cultivating leaders at every level, from frontline operators to senior executives, reinforces accountability, trust, and operational discipline. At its core, this session reframes leadership development as stewardship, building organizations that scale with strength, continuity, and a shared commitment to growth.

The role of the CEO has fundamentally changed. The assumptions that once defined effective leadership have been challenged by unprecedented disruption, shifting workforce expectations, rapid advances in technology, and an increasingly unpredictable business environment. The leaders who have emerged strongest are those who were willing to rethink not just what they do, but how they lead.
This executive conversation brings together CEOs to reflect on the lasting changes they have made since 2020 and the leadership practices they have no intention of abandoning. From culture and talent to decision-making, communication, operational agility, and innovation, the discussion explores how today’s leaders are building organizations that are more resilient, more adaptable, and better prepared for whatever comes next.
Rather than looking back, this session focuses on the future of executive leadership, offering candid insights into the lessons that continue to shape how CEOs lead their organizations today and the playbook they believe will define the next generation of leadership.

As AI reshapes how businesses operate, the most consequential question isn’t how much you can automate — it’s who you’re building for. This session invites executives to examine how AI, when designed around the customer rather than the bottom line, becomes a tool for deeper connection, not just efficiency. It explores how leading companies are deploying AI to anticipate customer needs, personalize experiences at scale, and remove friction at the moments that matter most — without losing the human judgment that builds trust. The conversation reframes AI adoption as a customer experience strategy, challenging leaders to ask not just what their technology can do, but what it should do, and for whom.

In a world driven by growth metrics, quarterly targets, and operational scale, leaders are often asked what they are building, but rarely why. This session challenges executives to rethink success not as accumulation, but as contribution. It explores how generosity, purpose, and service can strengthen culture, deepen engagement, and build lasting trust with teams and communities. Rather than focusing on charity alone, the conversation reframes giving back as a leadership discipline that shapes decision-making, clarifies priorities, and defines legacy. Participants will examine how aligning personal conviction with professional responsibility influences how leaders show up under pressure and creates organizations that endure beyond individual tenure.

The organizations attracting and retaining the best talent are rethinking the employee experience from the ground up. They’re investing in environments where people feel connected, supported, and equipped to grow—not just productive enough to stay.
In this Prosper Forum conversation, C-suite leaders will explore how the modern employee experience is evolving and where they’re investing for the future. From technology and workplace flexibility to learning, leadership development, culture, and moments of human connection, the discussion will examine the systems that help people thrive while strengthening organizational performance.
Rather than focusing solely on retention, this session asks a bigger question: How do organizations create workplaces where employees are empowered to build meaningful careers?
Attendees will leave with practical insights into how leading organizations are developing talent, creating stronger cultures, and designing employee experiences that improve engagement, performance, and long-term growth.

Trust is the operating system underneath every multi-unit growth decision. Leaders ask their teams to “trust the process” before results are visible; partners ask each other to share data, methodology, and risk before either side has earned full confidence.

Across convenience, QSR, hospitality, and hotel organizations, leaders are navigating sustained disruption driven by political and regulatory shifts, private equity investment, economic volatility, rising operating costs, and the long tail of post-Covid workforce and consumer behavior changes. These forces are reshaping where companies locate headquarters, how brands grow, how capital is deployed, and how teams experience stability inside the organization.
This session explores how executives build and maintain trust when uncertainty becomes the operating environment. Leaders will examine how ownership transitions influence culture and decision-making, how policy changes affect strategic direction, and how external instability can create internal fear if not addressed with clarity and conviction.
The conversation focuses on practical leadership behaviors that sustain performance: transparent communication, disciplined execution, cultural consistency during change, and visible leadership presence. Participants will gain perspective on how trust helps organizations retain talent, protect brand integrity, and continue moving forward despite ongoing disruption.

AI is no longer a roadmap item. It’s running in kitchens, coaching managers, and identifying guests before they order. The question isn’t whether AI will transform restaurant operations; it’s whether your organization is positioned to lead that shift or scramble to catch up.
This session cuts through the noise. No hype or vaporware. Just an honest conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and what separates the brands already seeing results from the ones still in pilot purgatory.

In today’s marketplace, value is no longer defined by cost alone. It is defined by trust. As competition intensifies and expectations rise, leaders recognize that price may drive transactions, but trust drives long-term preference. This session explores how executive teams establish a clear, enterprise-wide definition of value that extends beyond promotions to include consistency, reliability, transparency, and experience. Rather than treating value as a pricing lever, the conversation reframes it as a leadership discipline built through operational integrity and follow-through at every touchpoint. When organizations deliver on their promises, trust compounds, strengthening loyalty, frequency, and brand resilience. In crowded markets, confidence in delivery becomes the most durable competitive advantage.

What does it take to build a future that your best people — including the next generation of talent your industry depends on — actually want to follow?
In this research-grounded, cross-industry keynote drawn from his latest research from the State of Working America – Thriving in Resilience & Brilliance, Simon T. Bailey delivers a masterclass for C-suite leaders at the intersection of the future of work, organizational culture, and the emerging science of hope as a leadership discipline.
Drawing on behavioral research from healthcare, retail, SAAS, financial firms and luxury hospitality — and translating those cross-industry insights directly into the foodservice context — Simon reframes the conversation that too many CEOs are having internally but not saying out loud: How do we lead an organization through complexity, keep our best people, and build a culture that the next generation of leaders actually chooses?
This is not a motivational talk. It is a strategic briefing for leaders who understand that the future of their enterprise depends on their ability to build — right now — the kind of culture that makes talent want to stay, grow, and lead.

Leadership is often measured by results. The cost behind those results is rarely discussed.
This session explores the role of care as a defining leadership discipline — care for self, care for teams and communities, and care for the broader industry. In environments shaped by pressure, health challenges, and constant disruption, leaders are often required to make decisions that protect the organization while carrying personal and relational cost.
The conversation examines how executives sustain organizations through adversity while maintaining commitment to values, culture, and brand identity. Leaders will reflect on how they earn trust and buy-in from their teams and communities, even when decisions are difficult and outcomes uncertain.
At its core, this session asks a deeper question: what is the true cost of leadership, and is the sacrifice worth it? Participants will explore how purpose, resilience, and service shape decisions, and what it means to lead in a way that endures beyond the moment.

Guests do not just remember what they ate. They remember how a place made them feel. This session explores the science of sensory experience and how foodservice and hospitality leaders intentionally design ambiance to influence behavior, emotion, and loyalty. Executives will examine how sound, scent, lighting, temperature, and spatial design shape perception, dwell time, spending, and repeat visits, often more powerfully than menu or price. The conversation reframes ambiance as a strategic system that communicates brand identity and supports operational goals. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and real-world execution, leaders will gain insight into how intentional sensory design can strengthen trust, differentiate experiences, and drive long-term performance.

The best-run restaurants aren’t outperforming their competitors by accident. They’re executing smarter — on the floor, in the kitchen, and with their teams — in ways that show up directly in their numbers.
In this session, Victor Fernandez of Black Box Intelligence breaks down five data-backed trends that separate thriving restaurant units from struggling ones. Drawing on proprietary data from across the industry, this session gets specific about what actually differentiates the top quartile of operators from the bottom — and what you can do about it starting Monday morning.
You’ll walk away understanding how small, targeted adjustments — a sharper onboarding process, a tighter shift structure, a more consistent guest touchpoint — compound into real financial results at the unit level. More importantly, you’ll see how the highest-performing operators build a connected system where engaged employees drive loyal guests, and loyal guests drive a healthier P&L.
This session is built for operators who want to stop guessing and start benchmarking — using real data to identify the performance gaps hiding in plain sight and the practical levers to close them.

Titles change. Cultures remain. This conversation explores how executives build organizations that thrive beyond their tenure by investing in people, trust, and shared belief systems rather than relying on individual authority. The dialogue examines how leadership decisions today shape succession, cultural continuity, and long-term resilience. Instead of viewing legacy as personal reputation, the session reframes it as organizational strength that endures through transitions. Leaders will reflect on whether their systems empower others to lead with clarity once they step aside. This forward-looking discussion challenges executives to consider what will remain because they led and what will be tested when they are no longer in the room.

This session explores the strategic shift required to move from fragmented systems and incremental adoption to treating AI as a foundational operating platform. As cost structures evolve and productivity expectations increase, leaders are being challenged to rethink how work gets done, how decisions are made, and how organizations grow.
The conversation centers on the two forces that will define success: imagination and inertia. The ability to envision new possibilities for the business, and the discipline to overcome resistance to change. Leaders will examine how to align systems, clarify ownership, and build the infrastructure needed to unlock value at scale.
At its core, this session is about leadership responsibility. Organizations that act with clarity and urgency will shape the next phase of the industry, while those that hesitate risk falling behind.

AI is moving faster than most organizations can absorb it, and the technology is rarely what holds them back. People are. A tool only delivers if the workforce is ready to trust it and change how they work around it.
Rarely do enterprises consist of one workforce archetype. Within the Prosper context, it’s critical to examine two very different employee stakeholder groups: the crews in the restaurants and out in the field, and the teams in corporate functions. They work under different pressures, on different schedules, with very different access to time and training, so readiness can’t be a single program pushed out to everyone. To extract maximum benefit and necessary adoption, the approach must be tailored to each: how you train a shift crew is not how you develop a corporate team, and what you now recruit and screen for is changing for both. Running underneath all of it is the balance every restaurant brand has to strike, infusing technology without eroding the very hospitality that defines this industry.
This session brings together people and operations leaders to get specific about how they’ve done it: the different training and recruitment strategies for each group, where adoption stalled, and how they kept the guest experience human while the technology moved in. Attendees leave with a clear view of who should own this inside their own organization and the first move to make.

Everything is moving way too slow.
Your team is talented. Your strategy is sound. But somewhere between the C-suite and the bottom line, execution stalls. Decisions take too long. Innovation feels forced. And the results never quite match the ambition.
Maybe the problem isn’t your team. Maybe they have too many options, too many priorities, and not enough urgency.
It turns out the fastest-moving, highest-performing teams aren’t the ones with the most resources. They’re the ones who know how to use constraints to force faster decisions, accelerate execution, and deliver results that far exceed expectations. The truth is that constraints don’t slow great leaders down, they’re what great leaders use to win.
In this exhilarating 47-minute session, Andrew Davis will introduce you to a powerful six-sided leadership framework. A framework that eliminates the unnecessary, aligns your team around a single outcome, creates unstoppable urgency, and raises the stakes so your people show up ready to execute at the highest level.
You’ll learn how one non-profit turned a shutdown into millions of dollars in donations. Andrew will reveal how an underdog executive turned around an entire company in 3 quarters by adding constraints. You’ll learn how one business beat the odds by snooping through old SEC filings. You’ll even learn how an intern transformed a multi-million dollar business in less than twelve hours. (Hint: all of them thought inside the box.)
More importantly, you’ll walk away with a repeatable leadership framework you can put to work immediately, one that transforms your team’s limitations into rocket fuel for faster execution and outsized results.
Are you ready to stop waiting for more, and to start winning with what you have?

The most pressing leadership challenge today isn’t strategy, technology, or talent. It’s connection. Disconnection is quietly eroding team performance, client loyalty, and organizational culture. In a hybrid world defined by polarization and distraction, the leaders who win are those who know how to build meaningful relationships at every level.
Drawing from Riaz’s years of experience interviewing top executives, innovators, and industry leaders, this keynote gives Prosper Forum leaders a practical framework for making every conversation a competitive advantage.

Drawing from his work and perspective on connection, presence, and storytelling, Riaz will challenge leaders to rethink how they show up in everyday interactions, from high-stakes decisions to simple, often overlooked moments. As the world of work continues to shift, the ability to build authentic relationships, create belonging, and lead with empathy becomes not just a soft skill, but a strategic advantage.

The strongest organizations do not simply hire talent. They intentionally develop it. In an industry shaped by labor pressure, turnover, and rapid expansion, leadership development has become a strategic priority for companies seeking consistency, performance, and long-term growth. This session explores how executives design systems that identify potential early, invest in capability building, and promote from within to strengthen culture and execution. Leaders will examine how structured development programs, mentorship, and clear career pathways improve retention, reduce turnover, and create alignment across complex organizations. The conversation will also highlight how cultivating leaders at every level, from frontline operators to senior executives, reinforces accountability, trust, and operational discipline. At its core, this session reframes leadership development as stewardship, building organizations that scale with strength, continuity, and a shared commitment to growth.

The role of the CEO has fundamentally changed. The assumptions that once defined effective leadership have been challenged by unprecedented disruption, shifting workforce expectations, rapid advances in technology, and an increasingly unpredictable business environment. The leaders who have emerged strongest are those who were willing to rethink not just what they do, but how they lead.
This executive conversation brings together CEOs to reflect on the lasting changes they have made since 2020 and the leadership practices they have no intention of abandoning. From culture and talent to decision-making, communication, operational agility, and innovation, the discussion explores how today’s leaders are building organizations that are more resilient, more adaptable, and better prepared for whatever comes next.
Rather than looking back, this session focuses on the future of executive leadership, offering candid insights into the lessons that continue to shape how CEOs lead their organizations today and the playbook they believe will define the next generation of leadership.

As AI reshapes how businesses operate, the most consequential question isn’t how much you can automate — it’s who you’re building for. This session invites executives to examine how AI, when designed around the customer rather than the bottom line, becomes a tool for deeper connection, not just efficiency. It explores how leading companies are deploying AI to anticipate customer needs, personalize experiences at scale, and remove friction at the moments that matter most — without losing the human judgment that builds trust. The conversation reframes AI adoption as a customer experience strategy, challenging leaders to ask not just what their technology can do, but what it should do, and for whom.

Rather than focusing on charity alone, the conversation reframes giving back as a leadership discipline that shapes decision-making, clarifies priorities, and defines legacy. Participants will examine how aligning personal conviction with professional responsibility influences how leaders show up under pressure and creates organizations that endure beyond individual tenure.

From technology and workplace flexibility to learning, leadership development, culture, and moments of human connection, the discussion will examine the systems that help people thrive while strengthening organizational performance.
Rather than focusing solely on retention, this session asks a bigger question: How do organizations create workplaces where employees are empowered to build meaningful careers?

Across convenience, QSR, hospitality, and hotel organizations, leaders are navigating sustained disruption driven by political and regulatory shifts, private equity investment, economic volatility, rising operating costs, and the long tail of post-Covid workforce and consumer behavior changes. These forces are reshaping where companies locate headquarters, how brands grow, how capital is deployed, and how teams experience stability inside the organization.
This session explores how executives build and maintain trust when uncertainty becomes the operating environment. Leaders will examine how ownership transitions influence culture and decision-making, how policy changes affect strategic direction, and how external instability can create internal fear if not addressed with clarity and conviction.
The conversation focuses on practical leadership behaviors that sustain performance: transparent communication, disciplined execution, cultural consistency during change, and visible leadership presence. Participants will gain perspective on how trust helps organizations retain talent, protect brand integrity, and continue moving forward despite ongoing disruption.

This session cuts through the noise. No hype or vaporware. Just an honest conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and what separates the brands already seeing results from the ones still in pilot purgatory.

In today’s marketplace, value is no longer defined by cost alone. It is defined by trust. As competition intensifies and expectations rise, leaders recognize that price may drive transactions, but trust drives long-term preference. This session explores how executive teams establish a clear, enterprise-wide definition of value that extends beyond promotions to include consistency, reliability, transparency, and experience. Rather than treating value as a pricing lever, the conversation reframes it as a leadership discipline built through operational integrity and follow-through at every touchpoint. When organizations deliver on their promises, trust compounds, strengthening loyalty, frequency, and brand resilience. In crowded markets, confidence in delivery becomes the most durable competitive advantage.

What does it take to build a future that your best people — including the next generation of talent your industry depends on — actually want to follow?
In this research-grounded, cross-industry keynote drawn from his latest research from the State of Working America – Thriving in Resilience & Brilliance, Simon T. Bailey delivers a masterclass for C-suite leaders at the intersection of the future of work, organizational culture, and the emerging science of hope as a leadership discipline.
Drawing on behavioral research from healthcare, retail, SAAS, financial firms and luxury hospitality — and translating those cross-industry insights directly into the foodservice context — Simon reframes the conversation that too many CEOs are having internally but not saying out loud: How do we lead an organization through complexity, keep our best people, and build a culture that the next generation of leaders actually chooses?
This is not a motivational talk. It is a strategic briefing for leaders who understand that the future of their enterprise depends on their ability to build — right now — the kind of culture that makes talent want to stay, grow, and lead.

Drawing on Mike and Sean’s experience, the discussion will ground these shifts in today’s leadership decisions and tradeoffs. The session will also connect those realities to the Association’s policy priorities through the lens of reducing structural costs and building a workforce pipeline. It will conclude with a CTA to encourage the audience – including c-suite leaders and up-and-coming accelerators – to support and join the Association’s advocacy work.

Leadership is often measured by results. The cost behind those results is rarely discussed.
This session explores the role of care as a defining leadership discipline — care for self, care for teams and communities, and care for the broader industry. In environments shaped by pressure, health challenges, and constant disruption, leaders are often required to make decisions that protect the organization while carrying personal and relational cost.
The conversation examines how executives sustain organizations through adversity while maintaining commitment to values, culture, and brand identity. Leaders will reflect on how they earn trust and buy-in from their teams and communities, even when decisions are difficult and outcomes uncertain.
At its core, this session asks a deeper question: what is the true cost of leadership, and is the sacrifice worth it? Participants will explore how purpose, resilience, and service shape decisions, and what it means to lead in a way that endures beyond the moment.

Guests do not just remember what they ate. They remember how a place made them feel. This session explores the science of sensory experience and how foodservice and hospitality leaders intentionally design ambiance to influence behavior, emotion, and loyalty. Executives will examine how sound, scent, lighting, temperature, and spatial design shape perception, dwell time, spending, and repeat visits, often more powerfully than menu or price. The conversation reframes ambiance as a strategic system that communicates brand identity and supports operational goals. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and real-world execution, leaders will gain insight into how intentional sensory design can strengthen trust, differentiate experiences, and drive long-term performance.

The best-run restaurants aren’t outperforming their competitors by accident. They’re executing smarter — on the floor, in the kitchen, and with their teams — in ways that show up directly in their numbers.
In this session, Victor Fernandez of Black Box Intelligence breaks down five data-backed trends that separate thriving restaurant units from struggling ones. Drawing on proprietary data from across the industry, this session gets specific about what actually differentiates the top quartile of operators from the bottom — and what you can do about it starting Monday morning.
You’ll walk away understanding how small, targeted adjustments — a sharper onboarding process, a tighter shift structure, a more consistent guest touchpoint — compound into real financial results at the unit level. More importantly, you’ll see how the highest-performing operators build a connected system where engaged employees drive loyal guests, and loyal guests drive a healthier P&L.
This session is built for operators who want to stop guessing and start benchmarking — using real data to identify the performance gaps hiding in plain sight and the practical levers to close them.

Titles change. Cultures remain. This conversation explores how executives build organizations that thrive beyond their tenure by investing in people, trust, and shared belief systems rather than relying on individual authority. The dialogue examines how leadership decisions today shape succession, cultural continuity, and long-term resilience. Instead of viewing legacy as personal reputation, the session reframes it as organizational strength that endures through transitions. Leaders will reflect on whether their systems empower others to lead with clarity once they step aside. This forward-looking discussion challenges executives to consider what will remain because they led and what will be tested when they are no longer in the room.

Artificial intelligence is not simply a technology upgrade. It is redefining how organizations operate, scale, and create value.
This session explores the strategic shift required to move from fragmented systems and incremental adoption to treating AI as a foundational operating platform. As cost structures evolve and productivity expectations increase, leaders are being challenged to rethink how work gets done, how decisions are made, and how organizations grow.
The conversation centers on the two forces that will define success: imagination and inertia. The ability to envision new possibilities for the business, and the discipline to overcome resistance to change. Leaders will examine how to align systems, clarify ownership, and build the infrastructure needed to unlock value at scale.
At its core, this session is about leadership responsibility. Organizations that act with clarity and urgency will shape the next phase of the industry, while those that hesitate risk falling behind.

AI is moving faster than most organizations can absorb it, and the technology is rarely what holds them back. People are. A tool only delivers if the workforce is ready to trust it and change how they work around it.
Rarely do enterprises consist of one workforce archetype. Within the Prosper context, it’s critical to examine two very different employee stakeholder groups: the crews in the restaurants and out in the field, and the teams in corporate functions. They work under different pressures, on different schedules, with very different access to time and training, so readiness can’t be a single program pushed out to everyone. To extract maximum benefit and necessary adoption, the approach must be tailored to each: how you train a shift crew is not how you develop a corporate team, and what you now recruit and screen for is changing for both. Running underneath all of it is the balance every restaurant brand has to strike, infusing technology without eroding the very hospitality that defines this industry.
This session brings together people and operations leaders to get specific about how they’ve done it: the different training and recruitment strategies for each group, where adoption stalled, and how they kept the guest experience human while the technology moved in. Attendees leave with a clear view of who should own this inside their own organization and the first move to make.

Everything is moving way too slow.
Your team is talented. Your strategy is sound. But somewhere between the C-suite and the bottom line, execution stalls. Decisions take too long. Innovation feels forced. And the results never quite match the ambition.
Maybe the problem isn’t your team. Maybe they have too many options, too many priorities, and not enough urgency.
It turns out the fastest-moving, highest-performing teams aren’t the ones with the most resources. They’re the ones who know how to use constraints to force faster decisions, accelerate execution, and deliver results that far exceed expectations. The truth is that constraints don’t slow great leaders down, they’re what great leaders use to win.
In this exhilarating 47-minute session, Andrew Davis will introduce you to a powerful six-sided leadership framework. A framework that eliminates the unnecessary, aligns your team around a single outcome, creates unstoppable urgency, and raises the stakes so your people show up ready to execute at the highest level.
You’ll learn how one non-profit turned a shutdown into millions of dollars in donations. Andrew will reveal how an underdog executive turned around an entire company in 3 quarters by adding constraints. You’ll learn how one business beat the odds by snooping through old SEC filings. You’ll even learn how an intern transformed a multi-million dollar business in less than twelve hours. (Hint: all of them thought inside the box.)
More importantly, you’ll walk away with a repeatable leadership framework you can put to work immediately, one that transforms your team’s limitations into rocket fuel for faster execution and outsized results.
Are you ready to stop waiting for more, and to start winning with what you have?
