FAQ What does NACE do?

How is NACE different? NACE provides the means for catering and events professionals to differentiate themselves, which is vital to success in the hospitality industry. By providing education for all segments of the hospitality industry through the annual conference, the CPCE certification program, online education and local chapter meetings and events, NACE inspires professionals to become engaged and facilitates personal and professional growth. Who can participate in NACE? Anyone can be a member of NACE. There are seven distinct types of membership: Professional, Corporate, Legacy, Non-‐profit, Partner, Student and Young Professional. Each category has a different annual fee. What is the annual Experience! Conference & Expo hosted by NACE? The Experience!
