The ICR Conference, the food and retail industry's investor event, occurred earlier this month with many public companies presenting key findings and future plans.

Executive editor Alicia Kelso attended the conference and was able to speak with executives. Many of those conversations will appear on our website in the upcoming days and weeks.

Today, she spoke with First Bite about what she learned from the 2024 conference and how Papa Johns stood out to her among the crowded rooms.
