We recommend an episode of New in Events by IBTM World that focuses on food sustainability in events. It serves up a tasty, testy conversation on the future of event catering with a fair bit of spic.

Hospitality futurist Simon Stenning introduces five trends reshaping what guests want and expect. He calls them the Five Fs, and explains how he feels they’re shaping catering and hospitality.

Then, Guy Bigwood, CEO of GDS-Movement, joins the discussion to confront the eye-opening scale of food waste in the events industry. It’s a serious issue that deserves more discussion and collaborative action to address more sustainably.

The Catering, Carrots, and Sticks: Trends in Foods at Events podcast episode is for food planners, venues, DMOs and caterers ready to make food service more responsible and regenerative.
