2 ABOUT PACE The PACE Exhibition runs parallel with the Professional Association for Catering Education s annual learning and development forum, now in its 12th year. The Professional Association for Catering Education (PACE) is an organisation with a regional and national network of members whose aim is to encourage catering educational institutions to work together to manage the challenges of continual change within hospitality and catering education. PACE represents more than 400 organisations with catering courses throughout Great Britain and the Channel Islands. PACE acts as an ambassador on behalf of its members to express their shared views to relevant bodies and organisations affecting catering, education and training. It also strives to promote staff development and interchange within the industry. PACE provides unity across the hospitality and catering sector, and controls the education, welfare and opportunities of more than 150,000+ students annually.
