The Worldchefs Congress brings together 600 to 800 chef delegates and professionals from across five continents, offering a premier platform to network, expand professional bonds, and showcase national cuisine, culture, and culinary talent. The unique program features presentations and workshops from leading industry experts, impactful educational initiatives such as the Worldchefs Educators’ Forum, and specialized events designed to uplift the next generation of chefs, including the Bill Gallagher Young Chefs Forum. With a proud history of 98 years and having been hosted in 40 cities worldwide, the Congress not only enhances personal and professional networks but also elevates a host country’s international profile, fosters global culinary partnerships, and drives tourism through delegate participation and extended travel. Beyond its significant economic impact through spending on accommodation, dining, and local services, the Worldchefs Congress reinforces the host destination’s standing as a leader in gastronomy, sustainability, and innovation.
