Toronto, March 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The RC Show 2021 ONLINE LIVE<\/a> was thrilled to welcome hospitality professionals back to its annual event, held virtually over four action-packed days. From February 28 \u2013 March 3, Canada\u2019s leading foodservice and hospitality event offered a full lineup of solution-based content, interactive experiences and networking opportunities, all centered around the theme of \u201cFeeding the Recovery.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

By way of a new custom-built, dynamic platform designed by Canadian partner NexTech AR Solutions to support the foodservice industry, RC Show 2021 was brought to life in a way that hasn\u2019t been seen or experienced before.

The highly interactive platform created an opportunity for thousands of industry professionals to have uncomplicated access to tune in from anywhere in the world and from the convenience of their devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many decided to cancel their events due to the pandemic, we felt it was absolutely necessary to continue to offer a place for the hospitality industry to come together to network and learn, while making it easy for everyone to access so we can all move forward together,\u201d says Todd Barclay, President & CEO, Restaurants Canada. \u201cWe were told by attendees the show provided a space to connect and to find the vital resources and information businesses were looking for. RC Show also helped the industry bridge the digital divide that COVID-19 introduced, while providing inspiration on how to move forward.\u201d <\/p>\n

Anchored by 60+ hours of programming, 150 global experts took to three stages to discuss the future of the industry and its most pressing issues, including: COVID-19\u2019s impact and future outlook, labour challenges, mental health, tackling racism and discrimination in the kitchen, sustainability and much more.\u00a0Stage highlights included 8 CEO panels and some of the biggest industry chiefs and leaders: Roger Mooking, Massimo Bottura, Michael Smith, Danny Meyer, Jim Treliving, Janet Zuccarini and many more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Solution-based content extended to 125 planned exhibitor demonstrations, workshops and discussions, as well as an interactive exhibit hall, which allowed thousands of industry guests to network, learn and virtually experience cutting-edge products and innovative solutions to help them survive and thrive despite challenging times.<\/p>\n

All programming will be made available ON DEMAND from March 8 – 31, 2021, offering free, unlimited access for all Restaurants Canada members and registered show attendees. Content is accessible by simply logging in using the same URL, email address and password used for the live show.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow more than ever bringing the industry together and providing a place to rebuild, reinvent and reconnect is crucial. Making the show virtual, we also had the opportunity to expand our reach and invite global industry leaders to the forefront so we could connect and learn from one another,\u201d adds Barclay.<\/p>\n
