For the third consecutive year Connecting Images has worked with long-time client Profitable Hospitality, to run its New Trends Study Tour to Chicago and Las Vegas, supported by industry partner Restaurant & Catering Australia.
The 11 day tour in May was bigger, better, and more successful than ever! Led by Profitable Hospitality director, hospitality management expert and educator Ken Burgin, 30 of Australia’s most progressive hospitality professionals experienced behind-the-scenes visits to leading restaurants and catering facilities in Chicago and Las Vegas.
They also attended the National Restaurant Association Restaurant Hotel-Motel Show in Chicago – one of the world’s largest foodservice trade shows and a breedingground of fascinating new ideas and products. At the Culinary Institute of Las Vegas the group met Master Chef Raemond Hoffmeister, who served as the Executive Chef for President Ronald Reagan when he was Governor of California.
The increasing success of this well organised premium educational experience has already resulted in confirmed bookings for the 2007 tour, and attracted international inquiry. Thanks Ken, for your commitment to the big picture and for the opportunity for Connecting Images to work on yet another very exciting project!
