10:30am - 11:30am | Education Session: 2018 Catering Trends presented by Maggie Howell and Chef Christine Dowd, Aunt PittyPat's Catering Utilizing the latest event catering trends at your event is a must. Why? People today are much more in tune with food than ever before.

Maggie Howell and Chef Christine Dowd, owners of Aunt PittyPat's Catering, will share some catering best practices and some ways to think outside of the box. |
