Food Meets Hope digital event to open 50 Best for Recovery Summit
S.Pellegrino is set to host the Food Meets Hope digital event, which will commence the Recovery Summit hosted by the World's 50 Best Restaurants organisation, on 13 October 2020.
The digital event is aimed at charting positive stories of restaurant restructure, recovery and revitalisation, and exploring how the gastronomic sector can thrive once again.
1. Recovery - the first session, taking the attendees around the world to several restaurants, which have received a 50 Best Recovery Grant, will celebrate the progressive recovery in the gastronomic world through the inspiring words of international chefs, explaining what the grant means for their business in such challenging times
2. Inclusivity - the second session, in the form of a diverse panel of chefs, including among others Daniela Soto-Innes and Ivan Brehm, will be a reflection on kitchen culture, including the recent learnings about inclusivity in their restaurants and beyond, and their hope for a more diverse hospitality sector
3. Evolution - the third session will host a keynote discussion among some of the most renowned top chefs of the world - Richard Ekkebus, Dominique Crenn, Tim Raue and more - who will share their thoughts about reopening and sustainability, including business sustainability in the post-pandemic world, a new and more sustainable work-life model for chefs and hospitality workers, as well as environmental sustainability
Stefano Bolognese, Sanpellegrino International business unit director, says: "The gastronomy sector all around the world has been rocked by the events of 2020, but we believe that together our industry is strong and resilient. For this reason, earlier this year, we launched the S.Pellegrino #SupportRestaurants Movement to stand side by side with the chef community in such challenging times. As part of our commitment to facilitate the process of the rebuilding of the sector, we are proud to be part of the 50 Best Recovery Summit, together with our Food Meets Hope event, to offer opportunities to debate, learn, share experiences, and to actively contribute to shape the industry of tomorrow in a positive way."
