• Do you need to show that you will receive continuing education hours?  We can do that.

• Do you need to walk away from the conference with ideas on how to deal with change in culinary arts/hospitality education?  We can do that.

• Do you want to hear from not only our devoted sponsor partners but also some new voices?  We can do that.
