Ethnic foods: Corporate events often represent a wide range of backgrounds. Providing guests with foods from different cultures is a great way to celebrate and expose your guests to new dishes.

Make it your own: Menu options offering guests the opportunity to customize their meal is typically well received. Throwing a brunch? Omelet bars are very popular. For the sweets crowd, think make-your-own-sundaes and chocolate fondue stations.

Give  Back

Page 24: Corporate Event Trends

Corporate events are becoming more about giving back than ever before.

Page 25: Corporate Event Trends

Find a non-profit that is close to your heart and focus

on that

Specific one.

Planning  an  event  doesn’t  have  to  be  overwhelming.

Start that To-Do list as early as possible.

Page 28: Corporate Event Trends

Seek the advice of

professionals. A quality vendor will be more than

happy to discuss your options and offer
