“The whole idea here is to bring individuals and associations together. There’s so many great associations out there but they’re working in silos… For the first time, we are bringing all these chefs together.”
Join us at Worldchefs Congress & Expo this May in Wales as we unveil FV Events and assist both individual members and associations to create their accounts on Worldchefs Digital Community.
