Success at The Special Event in Orlando; Next Stop, Austin, TX

It was a week of laughter, tears of joy, seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and gathering inspiration in sunny Orlando, FL. Catersource The Special Event made its annual return with its biggest and best show since the pandemic. The week kicked off with a tour of venues around Orlando, ran a jam-packed schedule of educational and motivational sessions, got heated with a tablescape competition, mingled the best industry brands on a mixed catering and events tradeshow floor, and ended with a bang of fun Florida-inspired events.

Thank you to every speaker, sponsor, attendee, volunteer, and more who made this show such a rejuvenating success.
