CLASS SCHEDULE >
One continuous track of classes means you won’t miss a thing. There is no need to choose between multiple classes in one time slot, you'll get to attend - and taste samples at - all classes!
SPEAKERS >
Currently practicing and accomplished caterers from across the country will share a wide variety of culinary expertise, solutions, ideas and more.
To offer this kind of intimate and intense program, we’ve limited overall attendance to only 500 attendees which will allow you to:
• Taste and sample foods throughout the entire three-day program.
• Take part in all classes – there is no need to pick and choose between several classes within a time slot. One continuous schedule of classes gives you time to participate in every single one!
• Get up close and take in the details of dine+learns, demos, roundtables, Chef-to-Chef talks and more.
• Participate in informative facility tours at three local catering operations.
• Network and connect with a small group of like-minded culinary professionals.

Past attendees of The Art of Catering Food have found inspiration and fresh new ideas at this conference.
"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 one of our event chefs."
