Hall of Fame Society
Members of the International Food & Beverage Forum during the 2002 Inauguration of the International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame in Providence, Rhode Island
At the annual Meeting in 1998, the Forum Members decided to establish an International Food & Beverage® Hall of Fame. The Hall should become not only a place to honor persons who influenced the international scene of Food & Beverage through their outstanding efforts, creations and contributions, but also a library which will be open to all young professionals from around the world via a special Website.
In April 2003 the International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame Society was founded as an association of personalities interested in creating this unique study environment for young hospitality professionals and sharing their passion for fine dining.
The International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame Society will become, in association with the World Gourmet Club, one of the most respected and prestigious Food & Beverage related global association honoring on an annual basis Food & Beverage Industry leaders through their induction into the International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame.
Once the criteria for the International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame Candidates were set, it was decided, in cooperation with Villeroy & Boch, that each candidate would receive a Limited Edition replica of an 18th Century Octavian Centerpiece Tureen during the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
Through the organization of international events, the International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame Society will raise funds to support the “International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame”, the related scholarships and study facilities for hospitality students around the world.
The association will also collect Food & Beverage related documents and paraphernalia to enhance the collections displayed at the “International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame” in order to ultimately create better study facilities and programs for hospitality students.
Members of The International Food & Beverage Forum Hall of Fame Society are not necessarily Food & Beverage professionals, but individuals who would like to contribute to the goals of this association.
