Event details
Event: Perth CEO CookOff
Date: Thursday, 16 October 2025
Time: 3pm - 10pm
Location: Perth City Farm - 1 City Farm Pl, East Perth WA 6004
Join us in Perth!
The CEO CookOff® will come to life with celebrity chefs Colin Fassnidge and Miguel Maestre as they fly in for one night only, bringing the magic to Perth City Farm for WA based business leaders to cook, connect and create change!
This is a powerful leadership experience where CEOs swap strategy for service, teaming up with top chefs to prepare and serve a gourmet meal to special guests from charities OzHarvest supports.
This immersive evening will be filled with sizzling pans, shared stories, community spirit and real impact. As Perth City Farm hums with energy, music, and laughter (especially with Miguel and Colin in town), you’ll be part of something truly powerful — a movement that goes beyond charity, creating meaningful change through the simple but profound act of sharing a meal.
With demand for food relief higher than ever in WA, there’s never been a more important time to support our cause. To join the event, participants pledge to raise crucial funds for OzHarvest to feed people in need. Every plate served is a reminder of what’s possible when community, compassion, and leadership come together.
So, roll up your sleeves, bring your heart to the table, and help create an unforgettable night for those who need it most. All funds raised will help feed people in need in the local community.
