Foods that stimulate brains will be a big help for them to stay focused. <br /><br /><b><a href="http://82mercer.com/" rel="nofollow">conference center New York</a></b>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069463828087808612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938888231966216087.post-83393435852022426402011-02-01T11:11:42.170-06:002011-02-01T11:11:42.170-06:00Joseph, the quality of food is a responsibility th...Joseph, the quality of food is a responsibility that lays in the hands of the conference centers. Culinary teams, sales managers, general managers, etc., everyone must be on the same page.<br />The tips Sarah has outlined will create a better experience for the attendees. It is important that the conference center explains why this is true. <br />We must change our menus. My guess is that people will regress to unhealthy food options if the price is lower and it is on the menu.Davidhttp://www.about.me/davidhaasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938888231966216087.post-44373959690094382582011-02-01T09:12:09.231-06:002011-02-01T09:12:09.231-06:00To me, I think the venue should set the tone for t...To me, I think the venue should set the tone for the quality of the food. The venue and chefs can develop contacts with local distributors; something meeting planners will not be able to do at a location-level. By providing healthy options that are in season, local, sustainable, etc., the sales team at the venue should then sell those standards to meeting planners. <br /><br />In my experience, meeting planners (particularly those that did not put food quality at the top of their list of priorities) will make comments on the quality of the food and how it benefitted their meeting participants.<br /><br />Anyone else have other thoughts?Meghan Bollenbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10628439102013805391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2938888231966216087.post-33713182404434607922011-02-01T07:35:04.185-06:002011-02-01T07:35:04.185-06:00Who should be responsible for quality of food.
