Ted J. Balestreri Leadership Classic

March 5-8, 2014

For more than twenty years, the Ted J. Balestreri Leadership Classic has provided a unique opportunity for senior-level foodservice operators and suppliers to build relationships, create new business partnerships, and enjoy the five-star accommodations that Pebble Beach has to offer. This unparalleled networking event, for the industry’s top leaders and decision makers, is an opportunity that can’t be missed. In conjunction with the Monterey Wine Education Foundation auction, the Leadership Classic has raised more than $2 million in support of the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation's (NRAEF) ProStart and Scholarship programs.
