If you have achieved success, it is also because somewhere, at some point, someone gave you an opportunity or shared an idea that set you on the right path.
– Melinda Gates
On March 20, 2024, a unique event took place where the Female Leaders of the HoReCa industry shared their ideas and guided one another toward the right paths. The broader gastronomy industry is still strongly associated with men. What comes to mind when we say “chef”? Michelin stars, handsome men in elegant Chef uniforms, and distinguished Head Chefs in magnificent restaurants.
And now the word “Cook” (in the feminine form). No one can deny that such an image rarely exists in our imagination. Women are fighting to be recognized and appreciated. They put in a great deal of effort to make gender differences irrelevant. This conference is designed to support all the female Leaders of the HoReCa industry.
We aim to become catalysts for raising awareness about the role of women in the HoReCa industry. We invite everyone who cares about the future of gastronomy to join us. Together with the Success Written in Lipstick Foundation, we have created a special category as part of the 15th edition of the Businesswoman of the Year competition. This category, titled “Female Leader of the HoReCa Industry,” will recognize the role of women in the development of this highly dynamic and demanding market sector.
Femme HoReCa stands for STRENGTH, STYLE, and SUCCESS, and through meetings with remarkable personalities, attendees will discover just how many women in the industry embody these qualities.
We thank all Sponsors and Partners for their support and assistance in organizing this event.
