International Chefs Congress

[bripastryguy]

I have received a complimentary pass to the International Chefs Congress next week and was wondering if any pastry "people" have attended in the past and what benefits have you gotten from it other than hob nobbing with hi-profile trend setting chefs. I know I will get some cool tips and ideas from it but what else should I look to get out of it and do I need to attend all three days?

its a strictly hob-nobbing affair.

there are some interesting lectures and classes, but i think this years theme is "the responsibility of a chef", which sounds horribly tedious.

i was part of it last year, you get what you want out of it, if your there to drink and party you wont get much, but if you attend the demos you will leave with plenty new ideas....
