Paris, 19 of October 2021 – Nestlé Professional, a global leader in the out-of-home industry and foodservice solutions, has signed a new partnership with Worldchefs as the Official Partner of the Billy Gallagher Young Chefs Forum at Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2022 in Abu Dhabi, 30 May to 2 June.

The partnership marks the fourth year of Nestlé Professional’s support of the biennial event. A strong advocate for young culinary professionals, Nestlé Professional has played an instrumental role in the development of Billy Gallagher Young Chefs Forums and past Congresses, supporting skills workshops, expert speakers, and interactive programs to empower the next generation of industry talent.

Held at the 4-day Worldchefs Congress & Expo, the Billy Gallagher Young Chefs Forum provides a platform for young chefs to network with industry peers and mentors, open new professional opportunities, and learn valuable skills to build their careers. 
 
“We are proud to have Nestlé Professional as Official Partner of the Worldchefs Congress and the Billy Gallagher Young Chefs Forum. They have been fantastic partners in our mission to invest in the next generation. The 2022 Worldchefs Congress will again be a chance to provide young chefs with the tools and knowledge they need to excel in our profession and build the future of the culinary world,” says Thomas A. Gugler, President of Worldchefs.

“Worldchefs and Nestlé Professional have been partnered for over a decade, through International Chefs Day, Worldchefs Academy, Young Chefs initiatives, and many other projects,” says Emmanuel Lorieux, Global Executive Chef and Global Culinary Partnership Manager at Nestlé Professional. “That is why Nestlé Professional is proud and honored to be one of Worldchefs main partners and also to be able to help and bring our knowledge to this valuable chef community.”

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.
