Virtually any major trade show venue is within throwing distance (well bussing distance, at least) of a cooking school. This is a great place to have your drinking, eating event for VIP’s while getting everyone to schmooze with everyone else. Working with the cooking school coordinate groups of 8, 10, or 12 of different company exec invitees both current clients and prospects and your staff members. The casual atmosphere of a cooking school takes everyone out of business talk and into socializing within minutes. The cooking presentation can have a few prompts for your company or you can leave this to chance with the repartee of the crowd carrying your company along – this will be a surprising, memorable night for all involved.

Hope to see all of you at The Exhibitor Show -
