Accreditations & Associations

The World Association of Cooks Societies, or WACS in short, is a global network of chefs associations first founded in October 1928 at the Sorbonne in Paris. At that first congress there were 65 delegates from 17 countries, representing 36 national and international associations, and the venerable August Escoffier was named the first Honourary President of WACS. Today, this global body has 69 official chefs associations as members, with three more about to join at the 31st World Congress in March.
