Bitesize Seminars:

A visit to Square Meal's Venues & Events 2010 will give you access to a jam-packed programme of free Bitesize Seminars covering all the hottest industry topics. Square Meal’s editorial team will distil the latest venues, hospitality dates and event trends into 20-minute talks, designed specifically to fit in to busy schedules.

Complimentary Café:

We are thrilled to announce that all registered visitors to Square Meal’s Venues & Events exhibition are entitled to a very special free breakfast or lunch at the show. Once again, we have teamed up with Office Diner to provide visitors with fabulous food, though this year's offering will differ to previous years to ensure the experience is as enjoyable as possible for everyone. To claim your free breakfast or lunch at the show, you must first of all register to attend.

Due to unprecedented demand, the hugely popular 'Fizz for Events' tastings will return for 2010 to teach you the difference between sparkling wines and champagne. The sessions are packed full of top tips on how to add a sparkle to your event without waking up to a financial hangover.

There will be multiple tasting sessions on each day of the show, which are first come first served - book your session on the day at the seminar registration desk.
