blair_chanceyWith Dine America 2011 rapidly approaching, we wanted to get the inside track on what to expect from the conference in terms of hot topics, panels and speakers. Blair Chancey, editor of QSR Magazine, was kind enough to share her insights with us on this year’s Dine America.

According to Blair, the 2011 event will bring some big names and brands—including Google, mobile couponing sites like Scoutmob, and David Davenport, the new CEO of Shoney’s. Interestingly, several of this year’s attendees will be full-service restaurant operators.

We were also excited to hear that this year’s conference will focus on the exploration of  new ideas and technologies within the industry.
