Registration for Catersource + The Special Event is Now Open!

Catersource + The Special Event is the only annual event of its kind, and in 2025 it returns to Fort Lauderdale, FL from February 24–27. A show of unrivaled influence and inspiration, it’s a spirited gathering of all the people, ideas, and trending innovations shaping the catering and events industry.

The time is now to register at the best rates available to experience three days of conference sessions (February 25–27, 2025) coupled with two full days of tradeshow exhibitions, opening and closing general sessions with Will Guidara (restaurateur and best-selling author) and Brett Culp (Stage Story), awards ceremony, happy hour, and multiple evening events to keep you busy! All the major industry associations will be in attendance, conference sessions will allow attendees to keep their accreditations current, and “surprise and delight” installations are in the works to keep your social posts snappy.

It's also open for Art of Catering Food!

Start your week early by attending Art of Catering Food, two packed days (February 23– 24, 2025) of chef-forward sessions that promise to inspire and elevate the work you do, be it onprem, off-prem, from large festivals to intimate weddings to corporate fundraisers. Taste samples as chefs demo the cuisines on stage, ask questions, and network with other chefs from around North America during breaks, lunches, and an end-of-day happy hour. Chef Eric LeVine will deliver this year’s keynote session.

We can hardly wait to see you in Fort Lauderdale this February!
