Readers of el Restaurante magazine can get free registration to The Texas Restaurant Show, which will take place July 12–13, 2026 at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio. The event will feature expanded exhibit space, robust education sessions, and new industry experiences designed to elevate business success across the state and beyond.
In an effort to accelerate growth for 2026 and beyond, the Texas Restaurant Association has acquired the Texas Bar and Nightclub Convention and will officially integrate it into the Texas Restaurant Show as the new Bar and Nightclub Showcase. This dedicated experience will highlight the latest in beverage programs, nightlife concepts, bar technology, entertainment, and operational solutions. By bringing TBNC under the Show’s umbrella, the event expands its reach across the full spectrum of hospitality and creates powerful new opportunities for operators to diversify revenue, enhance guest experiences, and stay ahead of emerging trends.
The Texas Restaurant Show was recently honored by Trade Show Executive as one of the Fastest-Growing Trade Shows in the United States in its 2025 Fastest 50 rankings. This prestigious distinction highlights events across the country that demonstrated exceptional growth in exhibitor participation, attendance, and net square footage.
“Being named one of Trade Show Executive’s Fastest-Growing Trade Shows reflects the energy, resilience, and innovation of our industry,” said Tony Abruscato, Chief Marketing Officer of the Texas Restaurant Association. “This honor reinforces the Texas Restaurant Show’s role as a must-attend event for foodservice professionals seeking to grow their businesses and build powerful partnerships.”
