Summit Event Catering's philosophy about our business is based on THE RELATIONSHIP. For us it's all about the relationship we share with our clients and our colleagues. We continue to build relationships with our industry colleagues through being members of associations that help us to learn how to meet our goals of excellence. It's always an honor when one of these associations asks us to sponsor the meal at a meeting or educational event. One such sponsorship was the recent "Meeting Professionals International - OC Chapter" event. Our Event Producer Christie Kelsoe, met the challenge by creating a menu that would impress the event industry attendees.Dax Gallery was the location for the meeting.
