Global Conference Catering Services

A global conference isn’t just about speakers and slide decks; it’s a micro-city that rises overnight. Food lines need to move as smoothly as keynote check-ins. Whether it’s 30,000 delegates at ExCeL London, 12,000 specialists at Toronto’s Enercare Centre, 9,000 engineers at Berlin Messe, or a medical congress at Chicago’s McCormick Place, one late tray can throw an entire agenda off-track.

Our conference catering systems deliver up to 25,000 plated or boxed meals per day with 98 % on-time service across the UK, Europe, USA, and Canada. From build-out kitchens and allergen-coded menus to live dashboards and post-event waste audits, we keep delegates fuelled, organisers calm, and timetables intact.
