RAEDI Annual Meeting

Please join us for the RAEDI Annual Meeting and Luncheon on Thursday, February 26, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Rochester International Event Center.

Keynote speaker for the event will be Craig C. Culver, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board, Culver’s. Craig’s passion for the business started over 50 years ago when his parents bought their first restaurant. Modeling his mom and dad’s command of the kitchen and gracious, midwestern hospitality, Craig grew up serving guests and learning firsthand about delicious, cooked-to-order food.

In 1984, Craig and his family opened the very first Culver’s featuring ButterBurgers and Fresh Frozen Custard in their hometown of Sauk City, Wisconsin. In 1987, the franchising arm, Culver Franchising System, LLC, was established and the first successful franchise was opened in Baraboo, Wisconsin in 1990.

There are now over 1000 Culver’s franchises across 26 states and over 45,000 team members.

Please contact Molly Schmidt at [email protected] if you are interested in a sponsorship.
