Enlightenment…
This year, you don’t have to wait a full year to attend the next Idea Factory with its more than 50 innovative and creative educational sessions.

Trend-setting ideas to help you create cutting-edge events — from inventive lighting and original décor to hot new entertainment and interactive design.
But you’ll also experience the expertise, networking and education in food and beverage services — a keystone for any successful event — that the catersource Conference & Tradeshow has been providing for years.
If you’re a fan of one or both of these fantastic shows, you won’t want to miss what they bring to the table together.

With the new insight you’ll gain, you’ll have your customers, clients and corporate executives on the edge of their seats, your unenlightened competition left in the dark and renewed energy that will take you to the next level.
Come early and stay late — the 2008 conference and trade show offers four days of excitement.
