Program and offerings subject to change
LA Chef Conference is a curated event created by and for the hospitality industry. Due to limited capacity and high demand, tickets will be sold via Lottery. Access will be offered first to hospitality professionals in operations and ownership: chefs, cooks, managers, pastry chefs, beverage directors, mixologists, restaurateurs, directors and owners.
We welcome interest from food enthusiasts and vendors (those who supply goods and services to restaurants) and others who support the industry, but space is limited and priority will be given to those working directly in restaurants, hotels, and culinary operations.
Please fill out all fields to be added to Lottery. Tickets will be offered in September. Lottery winners who have been invited to purchase tickets will receive notification via email. 15% of all ticket sales will benefit Independent Hospitality Coalition.
We appreciate your interest and can’t wait to bring the community together again this October!
