We wanted to bring innovation to all aspects the 2016 Annual Conference, and challenged our partners and host museums to think outside the box for events. Lancer Catering bringing their A-game to the conference events line-up by providing an “unexpected” menu at the July 29 evening event in St. Paul – from ribeye to gourmet donuts.

To push things further, Lancer is creating a fine dining experience during the Science Museum of Minnesota stop during the event. Plated meals. Wine pours. Mmmm! They are even sharing one of their award-winning dishes, a watermelon and tomato salad created by Chef Frankie Berberena and Chef Eric Mena as part of a Hawaiian themed party!
