What you likely need
You're a rare profile at Festival — a sitting Fortune 500 CEO mid-turnaround, so the highest-value rooms for you are intimate gatherings with other operators who've navigated public-company transformations and institutional investor pressure at scale. You'd benefit most from closed-door sessions with IR strategists, loyalty and digital product leaders, and executives who've built global retail or restaurant playbooks from the inside. Events that let you pressure-test your 'Back to Starbucks' narrative or benchmark your digital and international moves against peers who've done it will be the most signal-dense.
