CaterArts - the ICA's Second Culinary Symposium

   video

was held in July 2008 at the National Center for Hospitality Studies, Sullivan University, Louisville, Kentucky.

CATERARTS 2009

Chefs and Culinary Staff should plan to attend this intense hands-on educational catering symposium. There's nothing else like it within our industry.

The syllabus will feature hands-on culinary classes in which all attendees participate, demos and seminars designed for the catering chef, round table discussions, networking, and educational special events.

Education and Motivation = a wise business investment. Don't miss this chance for your Chefs to network with their peers and fellow catering professionals.

CaterArts 2007 attendee comments:

“David and Steve have not stopped talking about the whole experience!
They felt it was a unique learning experience that they could not have received anywhere else.
The curriculum, format, topics, off-site events, cuisine, ideas, fellow foodies, and energy were superb and well-rounded.
Thanks for making the Premier Cater Arts a smashing success!!”

“What a great time I had at CaterArts. I am still very much a "rookie" in this business as I have only been a catering chef for just over a year now. I found myself going in to Kentucky picturing everyone being so much more above me. I almost felt intimidated, especially knowing I would be in the kitchen with so many great chefs. I must say that I have never felt so at ease as I did with everyone there. There was no sense at all of people being better than anyone else. As Chef Eric had mentioned in one of his talks, it felt like a big family atmosphere and there seemed to be a lot of clicking between people.
I sincerely want to thank everyone I met for answering all my questions (and I had a lot of them) and offering so many great thoughts and ideas.  I look forward to being able to attend another program soon and to see all of you again. “

“Congratulations on the excellent symposium that you organized, I do believe that it is probably the best one that I have been to for many years and I would jump at any more that you would consider organizing again.  Sally, Lorraine and I have managed to meet some of the best people in our business and feel very fortunate to have done so. “
