The list spans operations, foodservice tech, and nutrition, with events spread across Arlington, Grapevine, and San Antonio. The Texas Restaurant Show in July is the state's major gathering for operators, suppliers, and buyers across every segment. FSTEC in Grapevine draws a more focused crowd, largely technology vendors and the restaurant groups evaluating them. If you're sourcing new vendors, building distributor relationships, or timing a product launch around a regional market, these events give you a concrete calendar to work from. Each entry includes dates, location, and audience details so you can figure out which ones fit your pipeline before registration opens.
