Dine Philippines Gensan

Gensan plays host to the national restaurant management conference, DINE PHILIPPINES on February 25, 2013, 1 to 5pm at the SM City Gensan Cinema.

DINE Philippines, the restaurant management seminar series, has reached more than 500 industry stakeholders and academic community in Davao, Cebu and Manila since it started in 2010. With the support of culinary schools, Council of Hotel & Restaurant Educators of the Philippines and media partners, the conference series gathered so far some of the industry’s best restopreneurs such as Chef Robby Goco of Cyma, Ms. Nancy Reyes Lumen of Aristocrat, Claude Tayag of Bale Dutung and Chef Jackie Laudico of Bistro Filipino. This year, we hope to reach out to new areas and reach out to as many as 500 participants coming from the culinary, hospitality and foodservice industry.

For this roadshow, our local partners include the Hotel & Restaurant Association of Negros Occidental (HRANO), the Institute of International Culinary Arts and Hospitality Education (ICHEF-Davao & General Santos), Council of Hotel & Restaurant Educators of the Philippines (COHREP), and the Sarangani Tourism Council.
