Worldchefs Congress & Expo 2026: Book your tickets

The Worldchefs Congress & Expo is heading to Wales in May 2026.

In partnership with Team Wales, the event will take place at the International Convention Centre Wales (ICC Wales) and the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport from 16-19 May 2026.

The global event is expected to attract 1,000 chefs and more than 5,000 visitors from 100 plus countries around the world.

The successful bid to host this event, which is held every two years, involved months of work and lobbying by the Culinary Association of Wales (CAW) and partners ICC Wales, the Celtic Manor Resort and the Welsh Government.

The congress will be held at ICC Wales, with delegates accommodated at Celtic Manor Resort and hotels in the surrounding area.

The Celtic Manor Resort, in partnership with the CAW and Welsh Government, successfully hosted Worldchefs meetings in 2017 and 2019.
