These talented student professionals are in the process of planning, executing and coordinating all aspects of the event with the guidance of professionals in the food, wine and hospitality industry. They are using their event management skills honed from previous classroom and work experience to execute such a fine operation. From analyzing the target market to developing sales techniques, to deciding the food and wine pairings to recruiting and staffing other talented KSHM students, the management team is planning every aspect from beginning to end. The students have also incorporated sustainable living into this event by using recyclable and biodegradable products, locally grown food products, and eco-friendly cleaning materials.

This process is an excellent hands-on learning opportunity that will enable these talented students to showcase the valuable skills they have learned over the past four years. By generating funds for the KSHM scholarships, this festival will provide future KSHM students with more exciting growth opportunities in their fields of endeavor. Please stay tuned for further updates!
