Are you looking to feed engagement, nourish inclusion and bolster your bottom line? I believe you can use food and beverage to accomplish it all. But it is not as simple as serving lunch from the local deli or convention center.As a former eater of all things gluten due to a food allergy, I have left staff meetings “hangry,” conferences without the education I paid for, and social events without the lead I needed because the food provided for everyone was not safe or inclusive for my dietary needs. I had to find food elsewhere.If you’re an event organizer, hospitality supplier, food service provider, or an employer, food and beverage is often used to create and provide successful experiences of celebration, collaboration, community, education, engagement, and nutrition. Food allergies and intolerances, religious and medically-necessary dietary restrictions, and dietary lifestyle preferences can create obstacles for both you and the attendees. As president and founder of thrive! meetings & events, I bring passion, expertise, and real-world strategies to the training (virtual and live) I provide to inspire and equip organizations to create the employee and customer experiences you need and they crave.Every Guest/Employee Matters.
