Leadership Programs at CIA Campuses
With world-class campuses in New York, California (with two locations in the Napa Valley), Texas, and Singapore, the CIA continues to propel our industry forward. Most of our thought leadership initiatives take place at one of our domestic campuses which means that presenters including guest chefs, sponsors and attendees have opportunities to interact in inspiring spaces specifically designed for food, culinary and beverage education. When you are on-campus with us, you’ll also get a chance to see the next generation of chefs and food sector change-makers in action as they are progressing through their education and meet members of our dedicated faculty and staff who are at work driving innovation and supporting excellence in our industry.
