With so many groups looking to have team building/interactive activities and adding some fun to their conferences, offering an option like cooking classes is always a fun idea. Guests can work in groups to create their own dinner and focus on improving their company team building skills. This offers something outside of the usual buffet setup and gives the group the opportunity to have some fun with their food!

Bouncing off of the idea of doing something different from the ordinary buffet setup, conference centers can also offer planners the option of having a family-style dinner with lazy Susan at each table. Planners who want their attendees to bond over longer conversations and make a connection, family-style meals is the perfect idea.
