Four days of education

Seminars began on Sunday morning at The Mirage hotel for two full days, then moved over to the Tradeshow floor at the Las Vegas Convention Center for two more days of learning. Beyond session rooms, certain stages focused in-depth on various topics. The Ignite stage, for example, covered business operations and processes, while the Interact stage offered limited capacity sessions for true hands-on experiences. In addition, the Inspire, Wedding & Celebrations, The Art of Catering Culinary, and Showcase stage rounded out the offerings.
