The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) is a worldwide forum for the development and exchange of information, knowledge, and inspiration within the professional food and beverage community.

IACP's greatest resource is its multi-faceted membership, which includes chefs, restaurateurs, foodservice operators, writers, photographers, stylists, marketers, nutritionists, and academia, hailing from hospitality, tourism, publishing, and many other disciplines. From well-known personalities, such as founding members Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, and Anne Willan, to those changing the culinary landscape in new media and other emerging technologies, IACP has been, and remains, home to all culinary professionals.

With nearly 3,000 members from more than 32 countries, IACP is the world's largest and most influential association of culinary professionals.

This year the IACP celebrates the 35th Annual Conference with the regional theme of “Dirt to Digital: Real Food in a Virtual World.”

San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area of northern California is the site for IACP's annual conference.
