#TipTuesday: Maximizing Creativity and Cost-Effectiveness in Conference Meals When planning conference meals, balancing creativity and cost can be challenging. One effective strategy is to meet with the culinary team during site inspections and planning visits.

In my experience, venue culinary teams love the chance to showcase their creativity and tailor menus to fit your needs. How do you ensure your event meals are both cost-effective and memorable?
