Pre-Event
Catering Plan
Conference catering requirements include ,Tea & Coffee breaks, lunches, Networking functions and Formal and informal dinner options.
. Please find more information below on how to arrange this:
-
Liaise with venue for options and pricing on the specific catering type. The conference budget will dictate the options
-
If delegates are having lunch for example in the same venue for 2-3 days running try to have something different each day.
-
Factors to consider for networking events are the delegates may be standing and any food or drinks provided should be easy to hold/eat.
-
Evening dinner/Gala dinner. The client will indicate what is expected from this function and depending on the budget it is generally a 3 course meal with wine. Venues will work with you to create a menu that suits the event and budget.
-
Book the caterer and sign a contract.
-
Add a dietary requirements question to the registration form (delegates can fill in what requirements they have).
-
Send final food and beverage requirements/numbers to the caterer before the conference takes place.
