Chai Tea or Just Chai?

🤔 "Chai Tea or Just Chai?"
Have you ever caught yourself using a phrase that everyone says, but isn't technically correct? Or wondered how small details and cultural awareness can make a big impression on your clients?
Join Tampa Bay NACE for a fun, interactive, and thought-provoking luncheon as we explore the little things that can make a big difference in hospitality and events. From food and beverage terminology to cultural traditions, etiquette, and industry misconceptions, we'll challenge what we think we know while having a few laughs along the way.
This engaging session is designed to help event professionals become more confident, culturally aware, and knowledgeable when working with clients from diverse backgrounds. You'll walk away with practical insights, conversation starters, and maybe even a few fun facts you'll be sharing long after the meeting ends.
Whether you've been saying "Chai Tea," "Naan Bread," or "ATM Machine," get ready to discover why these everyday phrases spark interesting conversations and why paying attention to the details can elevate the client experience.
Join us at the Hilton Tampa Airport Westshore on Tuesday, September 15th for an afternoon of networking, learning, and a fresh perspective on the words we use every day.
Come curious... and leave a little wiser. You might just find yourself questioning more than your coffee order.
