– Angelica Iuliano, Worldchefs Young Chefs Ambassador Mentor
SESSIONS to unite global movements
The Bill Gallagher Young Chefs Forum is one of the ways in which Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026 builds upon Worldchefs’ ongoing efforts to empower the next generation. This includes its collaboration on the World Food Forum’s Young Chefs Programme, launched in 2025, which engages young culinary professionals worldwide to inspire and guide other chefs to advocate for more sustainable and healthier consumption habits.
Through projects like this, Worldchefs has strengthened its collaboration with key international bodies including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and other global coalitions.
Reflecting these growing partnerships, Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026 will mark the first time that United Nations leadership will be present, with Kazuki Kitaoka, Director for Youth & Women at FAO, addressing delegates and participating in the session Cooking Up the Future: What’s in Store for the Next Gen.
Further highlighting international collaboration, the session FoodChoices4Life: A new opportunity to connect, act, and inspire will also provide delegates with insights and ways to get involved in FoodChoices4LIFE, a new initiative co-funded by the European Commission that empowers citizens to accelerate climate action and behavioral change in food systems.
On the final day of the program, Worldchefs will also introduce its collaboration with World Central Kitchen, building upon the current efforts of World Chefs Without Borders to proactively position chefs to play a powerful role in disaster response across the globe.
A Platform for Learning
Knowledge-sharing and skill building are essential functions of Worldchefs Congress & Expo, with educational sessions allowing all delegates to engage with leading experts at presentations and masterclasses.

It’s an opportunity for exchange between chefs from around the world, sharing ideas, experiences, and cultures. With our education partners also playing a key role, Congress becomes a truly global classroom and inspires, challenges, and helps move our profession forward. Nothing like breaking bread with all your friends from around the world! Don’t get left behind.”
– Charles M. Carroll CEC, AAC, Worldchefs Congress Committee Chairman
educators’ Forum
The Worldchefs Educators’ Forum is built for culinary educators and academic leaders to explore how culinary education must evolve to meet the realities of today’s industry, and tomorrow’s.
The forum’s 2026 theme, Redesigning the Culinary Curriculum: What Must Change by 2030?, brings together voices from across the association’s global network to ask the question: If we designed culinary schools’ curriculum from scratch today, what would it look like?
Attendees are invited to participate and contribute their diverse perspectives for a global dialogueon how educators, training institutions, and industry leaders can proactively shape curricula for the next generation of chefs.

International Chefs Day is just around the corner on October 20th. Established in 2004 by the late Chef Dr. Bill Gallagher, this global celebration honors the culinary profession and inspires the next generation. Each year, chefs around the world share their passion for cooking and promote healthy eating in their communities.
Since joining Worldchefs in 2018, the Albanian Chefs & Cooks Association has enthusiastically embraced this mission. Known locally in Albania as “Chefs Day,” their celebration has become a national tradition. Each year, they unite chefs, children, and partners for an experience filled with healthy food and community.
Tradition of Culinary Celebration in Albania
From their first event at the Hilton Garden Inn Tirana in 2018, the association has united chefs each year on this special day to showcase Albania’s culinary talent and engage with younger generations. Over the years, “Chefs Day” has evolved into an annual festival focused on education, inclusion, and the joys of cooking.
The 2018 edition marked the first time that the country’s National Team gathered after becoming a Worldchefs member. The day was filled with many activities, including cooking and an award ceremony. The festivities continued in 2019, with a day said to have been one that children will remember for a long time.
In 2020, the association hosted activities at Tirana’s New Market, dedicated to culinary exploration. Throughout the day, children had the opportunity to grow their passion for cooking and understand different gastronomic tastes. The children learned to cook traditional pancakes, preparing the dough and later decorating them in this hands-on workshop. By 2022, the event had grown. Still promoting the career of chefs, educating children about healthy eating and promoting local cuisine, the event now also included educational activities for a healthy lifestyle, including yoga exercises and an olive oil workshop.
The 2023 and 2024 editions marked two more successful years of Albanian chefs sharing their passion while teaching children how to cook and eat healthy. Chefs guided children through fun cooking sessions centered on the theme “Growing Great Chefs” underscoring their commitment to teaching good nutrition through experience.
This year, the Albanian Chefs & Cooks Association is once again leading by example. Their 2025 celebration will welcome children with Down syndrome to take part in culinary workshops and community festivities.
“It’s a great feeling because Chefs Day is the day for our chefs, to celebrate and do their best to promote healthy food for children. In Albania, we are doing just that,” says Asim Prengëzaj, Founder and President of the Albanian Chefs & Cooks Association. “This year, we also will have a Chefs Night in collaboration with the Albania Bartender Association and Tirana Cocktail Bar, a wonderful way to close our celebration and unite the community.”
