Past Conferences

Perhaps the single, most exciting element to being a USPCA member is the opportunity to attend a personal chef conference. This unique gathering gives personal chefs from all areas a chance to share experiences face-to-face, further their education and hear from industry experts.
It was 1997 when the very first personal chef conference was hosted and the USPCA proctored the first Certified Personal Chef (CPC) exam - a true historic point in the timeline of our industry. Since that time, conferences have become an annual event that is the catalyst of inspiration and innovation, a reason why our members come back year after year.
Each conference is a testament to the drive and growth of this dynamic industry and the influential role of the USPCA. The USPCA is proud to be the leader of the largest body of personal chefs and the host of the number one personal chef gathering - the USPCA Conference.
