EnsembleIQ’s MURTEC Executive Summit Expands Footprint to Canada, Offering Restaurant Business Leaders Two Days of Technology Education and Networking Dec. 4-5 in Toronto


TORONTO, Oct. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnsembleIQ’s Hospitality Technology (HT), today announces the MURTEC Executive Summit is expanding its footprint to Canada. The new event, MURTEC Executive Summit Canada, is targeted to restaurant business leaders who want to learn how technology can drive growth across the enterprise.

“We've produced the annual MURTEC Executive Summit in the U.S. for more than 10 years, and we’re thrilled to now expand this event into Canada,” said Abigail A. Lorden, VP and Publisher, Hospitality Technology. “The Summit brings together both thought leaders and latest technologies to help restaurant business leaders understand the strategic role of technology in tapping new opportunities and solving challenges.”

Dr. Deborah Gilboa, MD, a board-certified Family Physician and renowned Resilience Expert (seen on TodayGood Morning America, and The Doctors) will deliver the keynote address “Building Resilient Restaurant Teams.” As the labor shortage continues to ripple through restaurants, impacting service and profitability, workplace culture is now central to attracting and retaining talented teams. Dr. Gilboa specializes in helping restaurant leaders understand the psychology of motivation, and arms them with actionable strategies to build and retain a robust workforce.
