As catering and events leaders, you want to be the first to know what is happening in Madison, right?  

On February 14th you have the opportunity to further your education on what is happening in Madison, and why everyone loves coming here!

Join us at the beautiful Atmospheric Floral Design Studio with a presentation by Destination Madison to learn about everything coming through Madison in 2023 and beyond, from major events that will impact your business to new venues and immersive experiences.

We will gather at 8:30am for networking and continental breakfast (provided by Blue Plate Catering) followed by chapter announcements and our featured presentation from Destination Madison. We’ll wrap up with some more networking and play some fun games together along the way.

THE GREAT VALENTINE CANDY PASS

In honor of the Valentine holiday, we’ll be playing a quick but fun game. We’ll divide into small groups and read through a list of on-theme questions. Players will respond by either passing one piece of (wrapped) candy to the right for “yes” or no pass for “no” (but you may receive some from your left). Sample questions include:

Do you like the color red?
Do you enjoy eating conversation hearts? 

The winners in each group (person with the most candy at the end) will take home a custom floral arrangement from Atmospheric Floral and a $10 Starbucks gift card!

Entry tickets to play are $10 and can be pre-purchased online (select "ticket bundle" option, which will also include your registration) or available on-site at event. Be sure to sign up for some fun group bonding and setting the stage for future conversations! 

WHAT'S NEXT?
