Serving food at events isn’t just a means of feeding people. It is part of the experience. F&B prices are through the roof. Budgets have no room to absorb inflation. 87% of planners said F&B is the first area they look to for cutting costs.
 
Join our panel for a spirited conversation moderated by industry veteran Heidi Longton, CMP Fellow, CMM, and DES. Discover how we can balance increased costs and maintain exceptional guest experiences.
 
Bring your thoughts, questions, concerns, and  even solutions to this virtual panel presentation. Plan for your cameras to be on. All audience members are eligible to be called on to add to the discussion.
