Aged Care Catering Summit
Improving aged care hospitality
As an industry, Aged Care has a lot to think about: Covid-19, the Royal Commission, new standards, audits and more. The Aged Care Catering Summit will provide expert speakers to help you stay up-to-date and make informed decisions. The demands and expectations of Australia’s booming aged care sector are evolving and we are seeing huge changes in the way meals are prepared and served. At the Aged Care Catering Summit the industry will reconnect, share stories and learn from leaders.
With its vibrant speaker program and networking opportunities, this conference will be held as part of the Foodservice Australia trade show and is a high profile event on the aged care hospitality calendar. It will be held in Melbourne on Tuesday 29 June 2021.
Who should attend?
The Summit is ideal for general managers, catering managers, facility managers, chefs, nutritionists, commercial caterers, consultants and suppliers. Really it is for anyone involved in catering to these important older consumers. It is affordably priced so that you can bring the whole team.
