Catersource and The Special Event

View, browse, and sort the ever-growing list of sessions by pass type, track, and format.

If you are seeing varied colors of session titles, here is your guide:
Dark teal = Catersource education sessions
Dark orange = TSE education sessions
Black = those sessions or events that can be attended by anyone with a Catersource or TSE pass, or requires a separate ticket.
Find your best experience by first choosing the pass type you have purchased. This will weed out all other extraneous sessions.

Sessions do fill up and seating is first come, first served. Note: Individual presentations may also be on this website shortly before the published show dates. They may or may not be the final presentation.

All venues are created equal, they all have a floor, ceiling and four walls—the difference is the people that bring this venue to life. Venue management and sales can be easy if you learn how to be flexible and remember that the clients renting your venue are in charge, not you. You must learn how to allow your clients to feel they are in charge, while still running your venue the way you want.
