Events

Join MRU at our upcoming events to connect with the people shaping the future of our industry and to gain the insights, resources, and advocacy support that independent restaurants across the Commonwealth rely on. Whether you’re an owner fighting to keep your business thriving, a team member invested in the restaurant community, or a trade professional aligned with our mission, MRU events offer a powerful space to learn, collaborate, and make your voice heard. Our gatherings bring together leaders who’ve secured major wins—from mixed drinks to-go to delivery fee caps and life-saving grant programs—and who continue pushing for fair licensing, expanded outdoor dining, and equitable relief for all operators. By attending, you’re not just staying informed—you’re strengthening a movement that protects the restaurants that define our neighborhoods and fuel our state economy. Join us, build community, and help shape a more vibrant, inclusive, resilient future for Massachusetts hospitality.
