Food-related diseases are on the rise, with approximately 45% of your attendees likely to have one or more of them. The 2008 Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act protects some and prohibits discrimination on the basis of having to eat a certain way. On March 8, at Exhibitor 2012, Tracy Stuckrath, CSEP, CMM, CHC, an event professional with food allergies, will help you understand:
- Who is making these requests and why are they increasing
- Different dietary needs, from food allergies and intolerances to medical conditions and personal preference
- Legal reasons to be concerned about meeting these needs
- When do these “pesky” attendees positively impact your business
- Managing cost while meeting the needs
