A good conference challenges you to learn new things, re-evaluate what you know and recharge with fresh ideas. And that was exactly how I felt, returning yesterday after four days in St. Louis at the annual Les Dames d'Escoffier (LDEI) conference.
As our website states: "Les Dames d’Escoffier is the only organization of its kind: a worldwide philanthropic society of professional women leaders in the fields of food, fine beverage and hospitality. The invitation-only membership, composed of 28 individual chapters across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, is highly diversified and reflects the multifaceted fields of contemporary gastronomy and hospitality.”
