Singapore Chefs’ Association Wins Bid to host Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2024
The highly anticipated international event will welcome professional chefs from over 100 countries

1 Sept 2020 – The Singapore Chefs’ Association is proud to announce Singapore is the official country to host the Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2024.
The biennial international event for professional chefs will bring together over 1,000 delegates and professionals from all continents to network and expand their professional bonds. The unique program delivers presentations and workshops from leading experts in the industry, impactful educational programs including the Worldchefs Educators’ Forum, specialised events designed to uplift the next generation of chefs such as the Bill Gallagher Young Chefs Forum, the Global Chefs Challenge culinary competition, an international trade exhibition, and diverse activities to enhance both personal and professional networks.
Since 1928, Worldchefs Congress & Expo has united a global community of chefs and cross-industry innovators to explore the past, present, and future of the culinary trade. The biennial event is a hallmark tradition of Worldchefs with an institutional, cultural and economic interest. It has been organised in 38 cities around the world throughout its illustrious 90-year history.
In the finals, Singapore edged out Wales to win the bid.
Says Chef Eric Neo, President of the Singapore Chefs’ Association, “This is a milestone for the Singapore Chefs’ Association and credit goes to the Singapore Congress Bid Committee who relentlessly pursued excellence and the support of the Singapore Tourism Board. Singapore was the first country in Asia to host the Worldchefs Congress in 1990 and it made history. Since then, Singapore has changed so much, especially in the world of food & beverage. We believe we have a lot to offer the world of chefs with our culinary scene and heritage, and we cannot wait to show them what we have.
Mr Yap Chin Siang, Deputy Chief Executive, Singapore Tourism Board, said: “We are honoured that Singapore has been chosen as the official country to host the Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2024 amidst strong competition. This win reaffirms our position as a trusted global-Asia business hub and supports our goal to be the world’s leading destination for safe, trusted and innovative business events and meetings. We look forward to warmly welcoming chefs from all over the world to experience this first-hand in 2024.”
