Consider a training workshop, or we are also accustomed to providing bespoke speeches and keynote addresses at major industry events. We work well with both simultaneous and consecutive interpreters.

Another option you may wish to consider is hosting an area roundtable, which serves a different purpose to bring together your area stakeholders and unite them under a common vision to develop and promote gastronomy tourism to your destination. We can help facilitate this discussion for you.
