The past few years Event Solutions relationship with Catersource has made this show a very vibrant place for Caterers and the food industry.  The tradeshow floor continues to show us lots of food, food service and a small area for non-food Event oriented product. The surprising part about that is that the dozen events participants I spoke with all were having a fantastic show. So go figure…

7 Trends seen on the Event Solutions trade show floor!

• Green Service is HUGE – I saw it over and over again

Here are three to view – more natural service utensils, plates etc. Verterra • Bamboo Studio • PackNWood

• Inflatable Decor

Inflate‘s inflatable Décor elements have been around for some time although they are new to the events industry

• Lounge Furniture continues to be hot hot hot

Including CORT who won Best Rental Company of the Year 2010

• LED lighting continues to push into the events industry

Wire-freeLED debuted the Caterlight at this show, a totally revolutionary product, a decorative wireless catering light!
