As a professional event planner, one of the greatest investments that I have made in my career is to continually educate myself. Since 1999 I have been attending the National Association of Catering Executives (NACE) Educational Conferences which not only provides you with the opportunity to meet and network with other professionals throughout the United States and Canada, but also to keep abreast of trends and share ideas.

I'm currently in Philadelphia celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the National Association of Catering (NACE) Celebration and attending Experience! 2008

In today's fast-paced world, it's more important than ever to keep up with the latest industry trends and innovations. Experience! 2008 brings on-premise caterers, off-premise caterers, event planners and industry vendors/suppliers together to network and learn new ideas.

With more than 30 educational sessions and two keynote speakers, Experience 2008 will surely provide a wealth of information and continued motivation and inspiration from brightest stars in the hospitality industry:

Mindy Weiss, Celebrity Event Planner

Linnyette Richardson-Hall, "Whose Wedding is it Anyway?"

Walter Scheib, White House Chef

Cindy Novotny, Founder Master Connection Associates

Culinary Experience! with Featured Chefs: Rich Landau, Horizon; Michele Mitchell, Hotel du Pont; Andy Snow, Feastivities Events; Guillermo Pernot, Cuba Libre Restaurant; Mitch Prensky, Global Dish Caterers and Supper Restaurant and Moderator Brian Freedman, Food and Wine Writer and Educator
