INDUSTRY NIGHTS & SOCIALS

Two ways to experience Milwaukee’s hospitality community.

Industry Nights & Socials at The Chef’s Table are all about bringing hospitality professionals together to eat, sip, discover, learn and connect. Some months, that means a big themed evening filled with food, beverage partners and demonstrations. Other months, we turn down the volume and put the focus on conversation, interaction and meeting the people around you.

​

INDUSTRY NIGHTS

Taste. Discover. Experience.

Our Industry Nights are larger, themed events built around culinary exploration. Expect abundant chef-crafted food, beverage tastings, featured industry partners, live demonstrations and plenty to experience throughout the evening.

Come hungry, discover new products, meet the people behind them and enjoy a night created specifically for the hospitality community.

More partners. More tastings. More to explore.

​

INDUSTRY SOCIALS

Sip. Snack. Socialize.

Our Industry Socials shift the focus from the products around the room to the people in it.

These more casual, interactive gatherings feature lighter bites and drinks, up-close demonstrations, games and optional activities, prizes, and creative ways to meet other hospitality professionals.

There’s no agenda to follow and no pressure to participate in everything. Grab a drink, have a bite, learn something new, play along, meet someone new—or simply hang out with people who understand the industry.

More interaction. More conversation. More connection.

​

SAME COMMUNITY. DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.

 

Whether you join us for an Industry Night or an Industry Social, the purpose remains the same:

Creating Community Over Competition.

FAQ

Attending

Anyone in the hospitality industry is invited to attend. Yes, this is flexible, bring your partner or your friends! However, we will ask for your name and email address so that the sponsors can see that their donations were put to good use and displayed in front of lots of guests!

​

Drinking

Since the beverages are also donated, it's not an all-you-can-drink event. However we all know Capitol Husting, and they will bring enough to indulge! Drink specials with the night’s featured products will be available, as well as a full cash (or cc) bar.

​

Eating

If you stay over the course of the evening, there will be enough food to be considered dinner. However, not all food items are out the entire time – so if you are just popping in, you might miss something! Since the food is donated for this event, certain dietary restrictions can be accommodated (i.e. gluten free), as long as it's not the main theme of the event (i.e. a bread sponsor). Please let us know and we'll see what we can do!

​

Partnering

We are continually looking for new sponsors! If you have a product, or even a service, that you would like show off at one of our events, let us know. We plan to grow this event to its fullest and are open to new ideas. Please email industry@chefs-tablemke.com .
