About this event

The World Chefs Congress is the most prestigious gathering of professional chefs on the planet, and in 2026 it touches down in Johor Bahru. Across four days at the Persada International Convention Centre and partner venues, expect masterclasses by Michelin-starred chefs, the Global Chefs Challenge finals, a sustainability summit, and a JB-only street food showcase featuring local hawkers from Tepian Tebrau and Pasar Karat.

For Singaporean food lovers, this is a once-in-a-generation reason to cross the Causeway: tickets are a fraction of comparable Singapore food festivals, and the trade-show floor will spotlight Malaysian halal F&B suppliers, regional coffee roasters, and Johor-grown produce. Day passes and full congress passes available; book accommodation early as JB hotels typically fill up six weeks ahead of the dates.
