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!

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.

More details are coming soon on our new evening events, keynote speaker, and everything you love about Catersource + The Special Event.
