Challenge
Coordinating elite chefs in an internationally significant culinary venue
Gastronomic congresses present a unique coordination challenge: the speakers are working chefs who must be managed as live-performance professionals with precise technical and logistical requirements — from kitchen setup to demonstration timing. Managing 37 chefs across 72 sessions demands a protocol specifically adapted to the culinary congress format.
Solution
Technical office adapted to live culinary demonstration formats
Barter adapted its Technical Office methodology to the specific rhythms of a gastronomic congress. Chef briefing protocols, stage and kitchen coordination, demonstration timing management and programme sequencing are all managed centrally — ensuring each session runs in the precise sequence required for an event of this cultural standing.
Result
37 chefs, 72 sessions — a congress that honours its city
The Latino Gastronomic Congress in Puebla is delivered with the precision the event's cultural standing demands. Programme delivery is frictionless from the audience perspective. The congress extended Barter's geographical footprint into Latin America, demonstrating the transferability of the firm's operational model beyond European markets.
