History

• Started by the Japanese Chefs Association in 2000
  by Bill Gallagher and President Deguchi to
  establish younger chefs to participate in and
  attend conference
• Continued in Dublin, Ireland in 2002 where a
  bigger element of competition was introduced and
  programme expanded
• New Zealand in 2006 saw a continuation of the
  competition plus delegates from 25 different
  countries

Concept

• The concept of the name The Bill Gallagher
  Junior Chefs
• Forum was given at the congress held in Japan
  in 2000.
• This was a respectful way of leaving a legacy and
  showing
• commitment to the Junior Forum by Bill Gallagher.

Bill Gallagher Junior Chefs Forum Vision

• To educate and involve Junior chefs from around
  the world in a learning forum within WACS
  conferences through encouraging each member
  country to participate and therefore build upon
  their knowledge and aims and ideals of WACS

7
Role of Congress

• The local organising committee should have the
  freedom to co-ordinate the programme (with the
  emphasis on education and social involvement)
• A set of guidelines will be formulated at the
  Dubai conference (2008)
• Any costs should be carried within the conference
  budget

Financial Implications

• WACS Junior Forum sponsorship fund
• (This fund was set up in New Zealand to help
  facilitate participation at the Bill Gallagher
  Junior Forum and currently has approximately
  USD25 000.00)
• Junior delegates should be offered reduced
  registration fees
• Accommodation (where possible) should be at
  reduced rates

WACS Commitment under the supervision
of the Congress committee chairperson

• To promote and encourage worldwide participation
• Monitor and improve programme activities
• Welcome and recognise junior delegates
• Encourage organising committee to make
  registration as cost effective as possible
• To ensure that the forum continues to grow and
  become recognised as the leading activity for
  junior chefs in the world.

Bill Gallaghers Commitment

• I have realised that active participation in
  future Junior Forums will be limited from my
  side. However, I do believe that if I am
  attending the conference, I should be given the
  opportunity to address the junior delegates on
  the history, aims and ideals of what it means to
  be part of WACS.
• To formulate guidelines for Junior Forum in
  conjunction with Japan, Dublin, New Zealand and
  Dubai conferences, so we can take the best of all
  four and crystalise a winning formula.

Promotion

• A campaign to all training establishments
  worldwide
• A commitment from each WACS member country to
  send at least 2 delegates
• An internationally recognised chef to be a key
  note speaker
• Endorsement from the Board , educational
  committee and Congress chairperson
• To take full use of our websites of all our
  members to promote the event to the widest
  possible audience.
• To promote within the local chefs magazines in
  each country.

• We have set a target of getting at least 50
  delegates to attend and participate in what is
  going to be a fantastic event for the younger
  chefs within the
• World Association of Chefs Societies
