Lunch Presentation - The 2026 Growth Paradox:
Why Top Organizations Thrive While Others Stall
Some organizations are posting consistent mid-single-digit same-store growth while their peers struggle with flat or negative comps.

We'll dig into benchmarking data across thousands of locations to understand which levers matter most right now, and why operators who execute well today are best positioned for tomorrow's opportunities.
