From the Managing Director

Worldchefs Rising Together

Since January 2020 our world has been rocked by a global pandemic. Few industries have been harder hit than the hospitality sector. As we are opening for business again, our vulnerabilities are coming to light, such as skills shortage, lack of investment in people, environmental issues, and broken supply chains.

Albert Einstein said, “in the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity.” Now is the time we must build a better and a more resilient industry that invests in its people and thinks sustainably when it comes to environment and work force. Worldchefs will continue to bring learning and support to our members as we adapt to a new normal and reinvent our industry of tomorrow.

RISE TOGETHER AT WORLDCHEFS CONGRESS & EXPO

We are looking forward to hosting you at the next Worldchefs Congress & Expo in Abu Dhabi from 30 May – 2 June 2022. This will be a special edition under the theme “Rise Together”, a message of hope and unity for culinary professionals worldwide. Finally, after many cancelled events and closed restaurants during a long pandemic, our members will be able to meet again. We promise a rich program with key-note speakers, competitions, and gatherings to catch up with old friends and colleagues.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE FUTURE-PROOF

Over the past year Worldchefs has organized thirteen webinars of all sorts. We had a total attendance of almost 5,000 participants from eighty-five countries. Most webinars are free of charge and participants receive a certificate in the form of a digital badge at completion. All webinars are available on Worldchefs TV as free resources for all to view, and more webinars are coming soon.
