Southwest Showcase 2019

Trends in Food & Beverage (Room Meeting Room 2)

Food & beverage is a fundamental component of meeting planning. Arguably one of the most important – serve a disappointing meal and you can practically hear your survey results hitting the floor. A standard food experience isn’t going to cut it any more – everyone wants to create memories and relationships through food knowing that the options can be limitless. What is trending, what is on its way in and out, and what do we hope never goes away?  Is there a food styling trend to make note of that’s really memorable to attendees? How can you make your meeting unforgettable through food? What’s new in the way of craft cocktails and adult beverages? Join culinary trendsetters Brent Schumacher, executive chef, and Hollace Genereux, director of culinary operations of Austin’s award-winning Pink Avocado Catering, for a lively and interactive discussion on the latest in food, preparation, presentation, beverages and the food scene in general. Your attendees will be glad you did.
