Do you have experience and wisdom to share with the event world? Now is your chance!

If you want to take the stage at Catersource + The Special Event 2025, it's time for you to participate in the 2025 Call for Speakers! Take a moment and submit your topic for this ultra-creative conference loaded with fresh and impactful content. We want to hear from you now so we can build our best program yet. 

Where & When: February 24–27 in Fort Lauderdale, FL at the Broward County Convention Center. We are partnering once again with Catersource Conference & Tradeshow, with a combined tradeshow floor that will bring over 5,000 professionals and 300 suppliers together to provide an unmatched opportunity to source, network, and learn in one-sensory stimulating environment. You can immerse yourself in a spectacular event that encompasses everything catering- and event-related. The alliance of these powerful, established brands will bring unique industry all-stars from both worlds—under one roof for four momentous days. 

Our Audience: Our audience is in the business of helping people celebrate the most important milestones in their lives. They are on and off-premise, executing private parties to multiple day festivals, hiring food trucks, and ensuring a safe and successful day for all. Those in the event industry are some of the hardest working people in business today.   

Our audience is comprised of top-level professionals who have been in the industry a long time, but also may bring new hires, and/or recently promoted planners, managers, and salespeople. Attendees may be representing a small company in a big town, a big company in a small town, or a 500-million-dollar company in a densely populated metro area. But they are all at The Special Event Show for the same reason: to be wowed with new products, new education, new ideas—and network, too. 

The Education: Over 120+ sessions will span the length of the conference, within tracks such as: 

  • Business & Professional Development 
  • Design
 
  • Event Management
 & Production 
  • Event Safety & Technology
 
  • Sales & Marketing
 
  • Weddings
 
  • Sustainability & DEI 

 

Your Deadline: The deadline for speaker/session submissions is Monday, June 24, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. CST

We can hardly wait to see you next year in Fort Lauderdale!
