From LA to NYC, Austin to Atlanta — catering trends are shaped by geography, culture, and local flavor. This fast-paced, multi-perspective panel brings together top-tier caterers and chefs from across the United States to explore what's hot, what's fading, and what's coming next in their regions.
We'll dive into regional preferences, presentation styles, and how local culture influences client expectations — from menus to service to vibe. Whether you're looking to adapt your offerings for different markets or find fresh inspiration from across the country, this session will give you tools to localize with intention and stand out in your area.
Attendees will walk away with a national flavor snapshot, menu inspiration, and ideas for regional storytelling that sells.
