National Association of Catering Executives: The Detroit NACE Blog

Thank you to all of the amazing contributors to this year’s Table Top WOW! If you missed this year’s spectacular event, no worries…we are here to fill you in. There were 11 magnificent presentations that were all breath taking and jaw dropping. This years competitors were phenomenal and had amazing spins on the year’s trends.  This year’s competitors and non-competitors were:

Joseph Martinez with Christopher and Company
Betsy Korvessis with Chair Covers and Linens

Todd Lloyd from Chair Covers and Linens
Linda Savage with the Toldeo Country Club

The competition criteria was based on a 10×10 imaginary square, the table had to seat 8-10 people, it had to be functional and it had to have a theme in the event industry. Please preview the pictures to see the amazing “event geniuses” we have in our organization. A job well done to everyone who competed and who did not compete. A few special thank you comments for the staff of the Roostertail and to the sizzling NACE Board who made this all happen. 

Thank you everyone for making TABLE TOP WOW 2008 an absolute SUCCESS!
