The only UK conference & exhibition dedicated to catering education in schools, colleges and universities!

Promote your products and services to more then 200
senior lecturers and decision makers from schools,
catering colleges and unversities throughout the country!


Exhibitor Opportunities

The PACE Exhibition runs in parallel to the Professional Association for Catering Education’s annual Conference. It provides a focused, but fun environment for you to meet, network and do business with more than 200 senior lecturers and decision makers from catering colleges throughout the UK.

Conference format

The conference will commence on the Wednesday evening with an informal ‘pre-conference’ dinner and then a full day’s conference on Thursday followed by a black tie gala dinner. The conference will recommence on the Friday morning culminating with lunch.

Great networking

There will be lots of networking opportunities during the breakfasts, coffee breaks and dinner, and there will be plenty of exhibition viewing time for delegates built into the programme. There are many ‘sponsorship’ opportunities available to your organisation, for instance sponsorship of the delegate folder and inserts in the delegate bags.
