The ATTC team with our friend Pauline Parry from Good Gracious! Events. The ATTC Team got to mingle and share experiences with caterers from around the world during a jam-packed week of education and experiences. This year, not only were we attendees, but educators! Linda presented a 75-minute seminar on "25 Years and 25 Things We Have Learned the Hard Way"; and Gina did several short demonstrations - "Hot Rocks are a Cool Station" in the X-perience Room. Linda was also an "Expert" at the "Ask the Experts" luncheon and a presenter for the International Catering Association CATIE awards. Chef Shawn and Chef Bill got to go on a tour of the kitchens at Caesar's Palace....gorgeous kitchens and a unique sneak peek at what goes on behind-the-scenes.
While we did not receive any CATIE awards this year, it was an honor to be nominated three times amongst some incredible caterers. We were runners-up to South Africa, Toronto, and California. We did receive some other recognitions - Linda was sworn in to the International Catering Association as Membership Chair; and Gina received the ICA Service Star Award.
Some other highlights:
Live champagne chandelier; a new take on S'Mores; personalized crisps; Mango Mousse with Meringue Sticks and "Pop Rock" Surprise!
The education was enlightening....the events were inspiring and we are all energized and re-charged for the 2010 season!
