5 TOP REASONS TO REGISTER TODAY
Can't decide if this culinary-focused conference is a fit for you? Here are five key reasons why you should join us in Atlanta.
1) Outstanding Education.
"The whole education experience was great...So excited we did not have to pick and choose the classes we wanted to attend." Carmen L., Coushatta Casino Resort, Los Angeles, CA
2) Limited Attendance.
The smaller attendance size makes it easier for you to connect with and learn from your peers and expert speakers within the catering community.
3) Increased ROI.
Using just one recipe or idea from AOCF could earn you thousands of dollars in return on your investment for the conference.
4) Exclusive Learning Opportunities.
You'll gain behind-the-scenes access to some of the best catering kitchens in Atlanta, have the opportunity to join us for an attendee-only party and learn secrets from top culinary pros - all in one visit!
5) Atlanta is a city for food lovers.
Whether it's barbecue or soul food, Atlanta has some of the best Southern dishes in America!
But that's just what we think...here's what past attendees had to say:
"The classes and the demos are awesome because you can actually watch the dish being assembled. Overall it is one of the best conferences I have ever attended -- that's why I brought my sous chef last year. This year we hired an executive chef who will be attending along with my sous chef and another one of our event chefs."
