The Art of Catering Food
AUSTIN HERE WE COME...

Over the course of two days leading into Catersource + The Special Event, you’ll connect with experienced catering chefs sharing new culinary techniques, the latest trending ingredients, food costing, and everything else you need to know to turn your menus into works of art.
ARE YOU READY TO BE INSPIRED?
Whether you are looking for ways to enhance your operations or want to liaise with, and learn from, and see what catering chefs around the country are doing to appeal to new clients, the Art of Catering Food has something for you!
During this two-day program, you’ll discover:
Education
The AOCF education program will introduce you to new ingredients, fresh ideas for menus, recipes, and stations, and give insight into upcoming trends, with no lack of boundaries placed on culinary inspiration.
