Menus – So Good You Won’t Believe it’s Conference Food!
If you’re like me, one way I rate conferences is based on the food! We take planning the menus very seriously, so much so, that we even do taste tests! I enjoy that part of my job, but we really do it so that we can make sure we have a nice variety of great tasting items, that will satisfy all palettes and preferences. Here’s a run down of the plans for this year! I hope you’re drooling with anticipation!
