12 November 2011



Chef of all ages shall descend on South Korea to the city of Daejeon for the bi annual WACS congress 2012. This congress is a gathering from around the world of chefs from the various associations of The World Association.

As with past congress’s, this congress shall also feature the Bill Gallagher Young chefs forum that is aimed at young chefs under the age of 25 that are attending the congress to come and have some dedicated sessions alongside the main congress. There is a focus this year on networking and experiencing the cuisines of the host country couple with fun.
There are specially designed sessions for the young chefs that are away from the main congress but also time is made to ensure the Young chefs are exposed to the main congress sessions that are of interest to them and that they are given time to network with the senior chefs also attending the congress which is a priority for the young chefs.

The very first session for the Young chefs is a pre-opening cocktail networking session where Dr Bill Gallagher will deliver a speech and be available for the young chefs to meet in person, Dr Gallagher is a mentor of many and this will be a life time experience for the Young chefs to have the chance to meet this great human being. There are a number of visits away from the main congress for the young chefs, with a highlight being the visit to the Main Daejeon market and Kimchi factory, there is also planned an evening out with all young chefs together.

The Yong chefs will also have the opportunity to view the Hans Beauchkins culinary competition and the Global chefs challenge .Hands on workshops and fun cooking sessions are planned.

Special guests speakers shall speak exclusively to the young chefs about their careers and their passion for their art and this will be a chance for the young chefs to learn from masters that have climbed the ladder of success.

The 2012 Bill Gallagher Forum is destined to be the highlight of the congress for the young chefs and we look forward to welcoming all young chefs from around the work to Daejeon in South Korea in May 2012.
