We just wrapped a fantastic Catersource The Special Event 2021 event! We are certainly feeling inspired and energized for the year ahead. In that spirit, we'd like to share our 2022 Call for Speakers! Take a moment and submit your great idea and topic for Catersource and The Special Event 2022 held May 2-5 in Anaheim, CA. It's going to be a sun drenched conference loaded with fresh and impactful content and we want to hear from you now so we can build our best program yet! 

Additionally, here are a few shots from the week so that you can relive all of the fun from Miami!

Where & When: May 2 to 5, 2022 in Anaheim, CA at the Anaheim Convention Center.  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.
