There will be a full day’s programme of interactive workshops and conference sessions on Wednesday July 11.

In addition, the Education Catering Exhibition will now be opening earlier at 9.30am.

At the exhibition, over 160 exhibitors will showcase food and beverages, equipment, systems and services.

The exhibition attracts decision makers and buyers from across the education catering sector.

There will be free-to-attend workshops on both Wednesday and Thursday, featuring Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown and celebrity chef Cyrus Todiwala.

Thursday’s (July 12) programme will continue with a second stream of workshops, followed by a full programme in the conference room.

Friday morning will see a breakfast briefing session, open to both delegates and exhibitor colleagues, followed by the annual meeting for LACA Members.
