Sign Up For Special Buffet Catering!
Our event is coming up soon! Because it is Easter Sunday, there will be very limited dining options available within our Carnegie Mellon University campus. To make sure you’re not hungry, we brought in special food catering!
If you attend our lunch, you will have access to a buffet with choice of chicken, beef, vegetarian entrees, pasta, salad, dessert, and a beverage. You will also have a chance to sit in a table with one of the speakers or performers.
Lunch buffet tickets are $15.99 if you buy now, or $18.99 if you buy at the door. We have limited seats available for lunch, so we highly recommend that you buy a lunch buffet ticket now. You can buy your lunch ticket at https://tedxfood.heroku.com/.
Dining venues are very limited for the holiday weekend, and joining our lunch buffet is a great way to not worry about food for the event and mingle with fellow speakers and attendees. Plus you’ll get great food thanks to The Common Plea!
