Set against a backdrop of unforgettable city landmarks, ranging from exquisite historic palaces to contemporary hangars, the event also features the world's best chefs engaging in inspiring speeches and knowledge exchange, with the space to cultivate novel ideas to drive positive social change. The Grand Finale coincides with a new edition of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy The Forum, an exclusive event dedicated to shaping the future of gastronomy. This year's focus is human aspects in work environments and industry culture, with a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. It will be a moment for all the participants to connect, whether young or senior, to feel inspired, to feel elevated, and to feel energised to face what will come next for the industry.

This year's edition will comprise three distinct sessions with renowned chefs and industry experts. Each session will offer valuable advice, recommendations and suggestions to address the practical challenges that young chefs will inevitably encounter. The first segment will be led by Virgilio Martínez, winner of The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2023. Through an open letter, Martínez will share his personal perspective on how to contribute to the evolution of the sector. Drawing from his own career achievements and aspirations, he will shed light on what this endeavour truly means. During the second session, a unique occurrence will take place as the four previous S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy Award winners – Jerome Ianmark Calayag (2021), Yasuhiro Fujio (2018), Mitch Lienhard (2016) and Mark Moriarty (2015) – join forces on stage. They will collectively showcase their remarkable journeys since their respective competitions and illuminate the profound impact of their work. The final phase of the forum will feature a dialogue with the Seven Sages: Pía León, Eneko Atxa, Hélène Darroze, Vicky Lau, Nancy Silverton, Julien Royer and Riccardo Camanini. This engaging exchange will provide young chefs with insights on how to enhance their own work and transform it into impactful actions. The accomplished Seven Sages will share their perspectives openly and foster a dynamic conversation on achieving excellence.

The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy The Forum will take place on the first day of the Grand Finale to prepare the young chefs to shine in the final stage of the competition, a journey that started over a year ago, during which time they have competed, and have been accompanied and guided by mentors to pave the way for their future career. Because their best will make the future of gastronomy better.
