What’s on the menu at the QSR Media Conference & Awards 2026
Investments, international expansion and consumer data headline this year’s discussions.
Australia’s biggest quick-service restaurant conference returns as the most prominent restaurant leaders and international brands converge at the QSR Media Conference & Awards 2026, powered by Red Bull, on 12 October at the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park.
The day opens with Shake Shack, which made its Australian debut earlier this year with a pop-up at the Australian Open.
The morning's leader panel will bring together the chief executives and senior leaders of some of Australia's most recognised restaurant chains for a candid conversation about what it takes to win in the current market.
The afternoon will feature a session on how Australian QSR brands are growing beyond their restaurant footprints, with chief executives from some of the top brands that successfully expanded their offerings beyond traditional restaurants.
The QSR Media Awards will also be presented on the day, recognising the standout brands, campaigns and individuals across Australia's quick-service restaurant industry over the past year.
