At the tenth edition of HIP – Horeca Professional Expo, the Executive Chef Summit returns, once again organized by the Culinary Institute of Barcelona (CIB). A must-attend event for the leaders who are shaping the future of gastronomy. This year, the Summit focuses on internationalization: how cuisine transcends borders and how education becomes a driver of global impact. CIB’s pedagogy is disruptive, international, and inclusive, grounded in learning through practice, creativity, and critical thinking. This model prepares chefs to lead with purpose, work in multicultural environments, and project gastronomy toward a more diverse, sustainable, and conscious world. Within this approach, the internationalization of internship programs takes on special relevance, making it essential that host establishments be fully aligned with CIB’s principles. While the format is still to be revealed, the Summit will close with an unprecedented event: for the first time, we will pay tribute to the chefs and establishments that embody—through actions, not just words—the best practices in the training of stagiaires. This award is both a distinction and a tribute to those who honor the profession; those who teach by example; those who care for, inspire, and support new generations with impeccable ethics and deep respect for the craft. It is a recognition of excellence with purpose, of the transmission of values, and of the conviction that cuisine also transforms when it is taught with generosity, responsibility, and a commitment to the future. The Executive Chef Summit will be part of an extended agenda, featuring content and conversations that will enrich the program of this very special anniversary. We look forward to welcoming you to inspire, connect, and open new perspectives on the future of cooking. Because gastronomy is not only learned—it is lived, shared, and transformed.
