A former Domino's master franchiser and real estate expert is organizing an invitation-only summit for restaurant executives that will explore issues related to real estate development.

The CEO Summit for Restaurant Real Estate will be held Feb. 26-27 at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. Speakers will include include James Walker, president of operations and development for Johnny Rockets; Lewis Gelmon, CEO of LG Enterprises, Inc.; and Adam Epstein, president and founder of Site Analytics Co.

Gelman, a former master franchisee with Domino's Pizza in Canada, is organizing the event.

The event will include examination of real estate philosophies, effective development and site selection and tips for dealing with "problem-child" sites.

"The most successful restaurant brands in our industry are those that make purposeful real estate decisions, and this Summit is a great educational opportunity for CEOs to learn how to choose better sites and immediately improve profitability," said Gelmon in a press release. "Although attendance at this year's inaugural CEO Summit is limited, we hope interested CEOs will request more information so that we can personally connect with each one on conference opportunities."

CEOs selected for Summit participation will receive complimentary travel, accommodations, panel attendance and meals.  For more information or to request attendance to the conference, visit www.ceorealestatesummit.com.
