There are countless resources and programs available to help you attract and retain talent. Where do you begin?

The Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association created an exclusive event tailored just for busy hospitality industry leaders. In one afternoon, we helped you identify resources and programs in your region, outlined best practices for recruiting and developing your talent, and connected you to experts in the field — for FREE! 

Explore cutting-edge strategies and resources to nurture talent.

Identify new sources for employee recruitment.

Expand your network.

PRLA hosted 7 regional events, each with dynamic speakers and industry leaders who will provide you with insights on talent identification, career development pathways, and resources available to unlock your team's potential. 

ServSuccess training and certifications support career progression for restaurant and hospitality workers. We'll be giving away courses at each event and attendees will receive a special discount for a future ServSuccess purchase.

Each event will close with a reception so you have a chance to grow your network and dive deeper into the strategies that work for your peers.
