Gastromasa Istanbul Conference 2024, which will be held by Sözen Group at Istanbul Haliç Congress Center between November 13 – 14, 2024. The conference, which will focus on culinary heritage and its impact on contemporary gastronomy practices, will offer a unique approach by bringing together the most important names of international gastronomy with Turkish professionals with the theme “Legacy & Menu”.
The quotes from the news are as follows: “Since its inception, Gastromasa has sought to build bridges between Turkey and the rest of the gastronomy world, providing a platform for the best chefs, sommeliers, mixologists, pastry chefs, baristas, food & beverage directors, hospitality and hospitality industry players to come together and share their knowledge. This year’s theme “Legacy and Menu” invites us to reflect on the transmission of gastronomic know-how across generations and how this heritage shapes contemporary creations. Each speaker presents their own vision of how culinary traditions influence the creation of current menus, while adapting to modern requirements and the expectations of an increasingly diverse and demanding international clientele. Gastromasa Hospitality highlights the different professions and know-how that make up the world of gastronomy, such as Gastromasa Bar and Gastromasa Patisserie, with innovative concepts. It aims to be an incubator of new ideas and trends by bringing together such a wide panel of professionals and experts. Gastromasa 2024 is positioned as an unmissable event for gastronomy professionals, where tradition and innovation will meet in an open and rich dialog. The conference will not only evaluate current trends but also shape them. Istanbul, with its history and dynamism, will be the stage for the meeting of talents and know-how from all over the world.”
The news portal quoted Sözen Group CEO Gökmen Sözen as saying: “Visionary and passionate, Sözen founded this conference with a passion to promote Turkey on the international culinary scene. By creating Gastromasa, he aimed to bring together the greatest talents of the gastronomy world and promote Turkey’s cultural and culinary heritage. His goal is to make this event a platform for exchange where chefs, producers, and professionals can share ideas, innovate together, and reinterpret traditions from a modern perspective. For Sözen, Gastromasa is not just a conference, but a meeting point where tomorrow’s trends are shaped by respecting and promoting the history and diversity of world cuisines.”
