"The inspiring talks and the great teamwork have motivated me to be part of the summit again next year. Through the exchange, I was able to make valuable contacts that have given me new perspectives and impetus for my future career."
21 years old, media management student
"This is the second time in a row that I've been part of the crew. It's impressive to see how ChefTreff is continuously developing and how the experience is constantly improving both in front of and behind the scenes. I've already taken on almost all areas of responsibility on both occasions and can say with a clear conscience: "There's something for everyone, it's fun, you get to know lots of new people and gain a deep insight. Skills that have already helped me with my own organization in practice."
22 years, IT Inhouse-Consulting
"The team spirit was simply next level. Everyone supported each other and that's exactly what made the ChefTreff so special for me! Experiencing how much passion is behind the scenes was impressive and immediately made me want to be part of it again."
24 years old, HR Trainee
"Volunteering at ChefTreff gave me a valuable knowledge of how big events are operating behind the scenes. And personally I was charged with energy that radiated from all the German talents gathering at one place at the same time!"
18 years, student
"The summit was breathtaking, I particularly liked the appreciation of the entire team and how much everyone offered support on every topic. What I took away for my job is that not everything has to be perfect for it to work well, but that quick solutions and thinking along with you lead much more effectively to the desired result. To this day, I am still grateful to have been part of this event."
