Credentials: Experto off-premise, at MonkeyMedia Software. Three criteria decide the order, always the same and always in this sequence: claim, plan, seniority. Nothing else moves a row in 2026. Right behind, Meredith Sandland. Estratega en madurez digital y delivery, at Delivering the Digital Restaurant. A profile is not a card inside a catalogue: it is a page with its own address, its own data and its own contact channel. What the order does not measure: stage fit, language register, or whether the topic matches your audience. Only the profiles say that. Each page states its own date. Coverage and specialty are separate fields: one says where, the other says about what. The sector figures quoted above are from 2025 reports, read in 2026.

Declared coverage is not the same as availability: each speaker confirms their own calendar and fee directly with the organizer.

Which specialties are covered in the whole network?

8 specialties have declared coverage here.

AI Strategy & Digital Transformation: 156 profiles. Business Models for Restaurants: 146 profiles. Marketing & Growth for Restaurants: 121 profiles. Leadership & Teams in Restaurants: 113 profiles. Generative AI & Productivity: 99 profiles. Service, Customer Experience & Hospitality in Restaurants: 85 profiles. Restaurant Operations & Standardization: 81 profiles. AI Ethics, Regulation & Future of Work: 74 profiles. Each specialty is a page of its own with its own ranking, so a broad search can be narrowed without losing the territory. A specialty with a single profile is fragile: one cancellation leaves the market uncovered, and that is worth knowing before signing. There are no intermediaries here. The count on this page comes from the same query that feeds the globe, so both always agree.

What is the restaurant and hospitality sector worth in 2026, and why does it matter when booking?

AHLA, 2025 reports USD 777,250 M in guest spending.

National Restaurant Association, 2025 adds USD 1.5 trillion in US sales and 15.9 M jobs. Admission is not automatic: a profile needs a public source that backs the track record, and that keeps growth slow on purpose. Figures age: each one carries its institution and its year so you can check it before quoting it on a stage. Every figure carries its source. Booking happens between the organiser and the professional; RadarSpeakers does not take a commission. The sitemap is published in blocks, not as a single file, so each block can be read on its own. If a profile changes address, the old one redirects to the current one. When a profile is withdrawn, its address stops pretending the page still exists.
