The 2022 Worldchefs Congress & Expo ushers in the 20th anniversary of the Billy Gallagher Young Chefs Forum, which began at the 2002 Worldchefs Congress & Expo in Japan. The late Dr. Billy Gallagher, Honorary President and Honorary Life Member of Worldchefs, envisioned a space for young chefs encompassing both learning and comradery. Each year, the program is designed to develop future leaders and encourage conversation between junior and senior chefs from around the globe.
