Last week was the first of the three main events that I will help plan throughout my internship, The Authentic Italian Table!  The three-day food expo features a total of 15 renowned Italian restaurants in the Chicago area as well as various food and wine sponsors.  The event aligns with the True Italian Taste Project to showcase  authentic Italian ingredients imported directly from Italy.

I began working with my co-workers on this event at the start of my internship through writing social media posts and a press release, as well as communicating with participating restaurants, sponsors, and musicians.  It was wonderful to see everything turn out so successfully this past week.
