AMERICAN EXPRESS®
RESTAURANT TRADE PROGRAM

Since 1989, as an advocate and business partner of the restaurant industry, American Express has offered a special program at the FOOD & WINE Classic for the individuals who shape the world of hospitality. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the AMERICAN EXPRESS® RESTAURANT TRADE PROGRAM, which will begin with a kick-off seminar featuring top chefs and restaurateurs who have made a lasting impact on the trade over the past 20 years, including Danny Meyer and Jacques Pépin.

In addition to our seminars, American Express is proud to reintroduce two interactive round tables – back by popular demand – for intimate groups of preregistered attendees. Take advantage of a unique wine tasting opportunity led by FOOD & WINE deputy wine editor Ray Isle, or participate in a media training session with expert Steve Dolinsky, food reporter for ABC 7-Chicago and founder of Culinary Communications.

Join us in celebrating our 20th anniversary and take home exciting ideas and best practices for your business from our renowned roster of talent.
