Why having a catering community can make or break your growth.
Why having a catering community can make or break your growth.
In the everchanging industry of catering, finding the right support and inspiration can make all the difference. The International Caterers Association (ICA) is a special group that brings excellence to catering businesses.
At TPP, we are proud to support the ICA as a scholarship sponsor. They provide education access for caterers of all types. We are excited to share why a large percentage of caterers love being part of this great community.
A Place to Connect and Share
Picture a space where caterers from all walks of life come together to chat, share stories, and swap tips. Most caterers are in survival mode, 24/7.
We all know it’s not a hard industry to be in, let alone break through. That is why the ICA offers a friendly community welcoming all caterers to share their ups and downs. You can meet others who understand the special joys and challenges of catering.
No matter if you are an expert or a beginner, the friendships you build can be immensely rewarding. These connections can last a lifetime.
Learn and Grow Together
The ICA is all about learning and growing. They offer a treasure trove of resources, from fun and informative webinars to hands-on workshops and exciting conferences. If you think you know it all, think again. Having a growth mindset, especially in 2025 with so many technological advancements, is incredibly paramount.
The ICA is also led by a group of outstanding individuals who enjoy collaborating! TPP hoset a webinar with ICA members on August 6, 2024. The title was “Unveiling the Recipe for Personal and Business Growth in Catering.”
Jonathan Jennings, the ICA President, and Ingrid Nagy, who leads the Culinary Learning Journeys Committee, spoke at the event. They, along with other industry stars, shared amazing insights on how to grow and innovate in the catering business.
Boost Your Credibility
Being part of the ICA isn’t just about learning – it’s also a great way to boost your credibility. Clients and peers alike recognize ICA membership as a sign that you’re committed to being the best you can be. Plus, the ICA’s awards and recognitions are a great way to get your name out there and stand out in a crowded market. You get to meet and see everyone in person at the scholarship dinner during Catersource!
Culinary Adventures Await
If you’re looking for a little adventure, the ICA’s Culinary Learning Journeys are just the ticket. These trips are all about exploring new culinary landscapes and learning through experience. With Ingrid Nagy in charge, you will have unforgettable experiences. These moments will inspire and energize you, and your team!
