At the Worlds of Flavor International Conference and Festival, you will spend three days alongside hundreds of like-minded, flavor-seeking culinary pioneers, mixing business with pleasure as you learn from some of the best chefs in the world. What better way to meet your colleagues than while discussing the inspiration provided by chefs from around the United States and the American continent? From the famed world marketplace tastings to the main theater to the live fire of the Wood Stone Outdoor Kitchen to the stoves of the magnificent Hestan teaching kitchen, and to the gardens to the wine tastings, the CIA’s Copia campus provides the perfect background for inspiration, engaging all of your senses at all moments as you listen, watch, smell, hear-and taste!
