Cater+Event Schedule 2027

Every Cater+Event audience is a room full of people who have survived something. The vendor who ghosted them at 6am. The client who changed the menu the morning of. The team member who fell apart right when the room needed them most. They rarely get a structured reason to talk about how they actually handled it — and what they'd do differently.

This Fast Chat is built as a live, facilitated networking room — not a presentation — centered on high-stakes soft skills moments specific to this industry: when to tell a client the truth versus get them through the night, how to de-escalate a guest without making yourself smaller, how to keep a rattled team moving when the day is actively falling apart. Marisa and Gabby will use the room to surface those moments fast, then let the people who've lived them teach each other.
