Three weeks left before the QSR Media UK Redcat Conference & Awards 2026
The conference brings together the industry's top leaders.
The QSR Media UK Redcat Conference & Awards 2026 is set to take place on 22 June at Park Plaza Victoria, London, with tickets still available ahead of what is shaping up to be one of the most commercially focused gatherings the UK quick service sector has seen this year.
The one-day event brings together senior leaders from some of the UK's most recognisable QSR brands for a programme built around the pressures and opportunities defining the market in 2026, from profitability and consumer value to menu innovation, marketing, and operational scale.
The day opens with a macro-to-market outlook on the next five years of UK QSR growth, before moving into a leaders panel featuring Khalil Rehman of Caprinos Pizza, which posted 14% like-for-like growth in 2025, Aoife Dannatt of Chipotle Europe, whose UK estate is expanding by 20% this year, and Jemma Smoker of Gong cha, which recently signed a deal to open more than 225 UK stores.
A dedicated marketing panel will bring together senior marketers from Taco Bell, Black Sheep Coffee, Itsu, and Franco Manca to discuss building loyalty and driving frequency in an increasingly price-sensitive market. A founders panel, an operations panel, and a food innovation panel round out the afternoon programme, with speakers from Domino's, KFC UK & Ireland, Chipotle, Chaiiwala, Chopstix, and Meaningful Vision among those taking the stage.
The QSR Media Awards will also be presented during the event, recognising standout performance across the UK quick service sector.
