Thanks to the hard work of the Cleveland 2016 Host Committee, their supplier guide had a lot of great options for the Convention's official caterers. After looking at over 50 caterers, fourteen were asked to provide a tasting for Convention staff to show their range of available food options, professionalism, and ability to meet the needs of the Convention while in an unfamiliar space. Convention catering needs include suite and hospitality, staff meals and boxed lunches.
