2010 SYMPOSIUM LOCATION

We’re proud to include the International Culinary School at The Art Institute of California-San Francisco as a generous supporter of our symposium.


Located at the historic United Nations Plaza in San Francisco, where 65 years ago the Charter of the United Nations was signed to mark the birth of the famed organization, the International Culinary School will host our 2010 symposium on Filipino cuisine. Its state-of-the-art kitchens and new restaurant lie at the heart of San Francisco, in view of City Hall and within steps from the Civic Center BART and Muni station.


Filipino farm workers were critical to the early success of California’s agricultural industry, and Northern California remains home to the most concentrated community of Filipinos outside of Metro Manila.


The San Francisco Bay Area, long recognized as one of the premier culinary capitals of the world, leads the way in food culture and politics. With its historic neighborhoods and diverse communities, its culinary artisans and specialty agriculture, its renowned restaurants and universities, our city is the ideal setting for this important conference on the future of Filipino flavors.


We encourage all attendees to use public transportation. As a hub for BART subway lines, and numerous MUNI trains and buses, the Civic Center is highly accessible by public transport.
