United States Personal Chef Association 2006 Conference

St. Louis, MO August 4 - 7
Three cheers for the St. Louis USPCA Chapter and another successful USPCA Conference! Nearly 300 personal chefs had four days packed with educational opportunities and networking. Delicious aromas wafted the hotel’s hallways, coming from a variety of cooking demonstrations. The conference gala featured foods and dance from around the world.

Comments on the seminars by attendees:

I’m headed home to revamp all my print marketing pieces.

The “Tweak and Trial” seminar motivated me to find ways to expand my business.

Did I learn anything? I have a 22-item list on my to-do list for next week. First is to review and update my website and raise my rates.

I’m just starting my business. The many marketing seminars gave me great ideas to use when I get home.

The classes on teaching cooking classes and in-home cooking gave me great ideas and good pointers to get started.

I’ll be using conference information for months to come.

Comments on the instructors by attendees:

It’s great that so many personal chefs are willing to share their knowledge and enthusiasm.

Mary Lynn Vickers challenged me to send out a press release about attending the conference.

Motivated by several speakers, I’ll be reworking my brief “elevator” speech to focus on client benefits rather than my cooking process.

Thanks to Vickie Kirlick, I’ll be shopping for a pressure cooker to use in my service.


Comments on the Networking by attendees:

Wow! Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

I’ve made so many new friends.

I’ll start saving money right away for the 2007 Conference.
