WFC Renews A Strong Connection With AT&T

The World Food Championships has partnered with the nation’s largest wireless network to make sure foodies from around the nation will be able to stay connected to all of the culinary action at this year’s 10th Anniversary of the world’s largest Food Sport event.

WFC announced today its continued partnership with AT&T as the exclusive wireless sponsor of the 2022 event, which will feature more than 900 cooks and chefs from over 40 states and 10 countries.

The championships, which will take place November 9-13 at Fair Park, will feature more than 300 teams who are trying to win their share of $300,000 in ten categories that include BBQ, Bacon, Burger, Dessert, Rice/Noodle, Sandwich, Seafood, Steak, Soup, and Vegetarian. 

WFC also features over 20 special tasting events for consumers as part of its Flavor Fest, with fan-favorites Barbecue Ranch and Bourb’N’Que returning. This year’s attractions include Chairman’s Tables, Best of the Fest, and 31 exhibitors which include brands sampling tasty items in WFC’s Kitchen Arena. 

Secure internet connection will be a must for the thousands of attendees, competitors, media personnel, influencers and sponsors as they record all the incredible action and food entries, which will include over 6,000 custom dishes.

“Everything is bigger in Texas, and thanks to AT&T, our Wi-Fi coverage of this incredible Food Fest will be no exception,” said Mike McCloud, President and CEO of WFC. “From livestreams to social media posts and remote scoring reports, a reliable internet connection is essential to our operations, and that’s why we are thrilled to partner with AT&T to make sure we are as strong as possible in that area.”

This will not be the first time this year that AT&T brings their top-of-the-line technology to Fair Park. The company’s reliable network was also used at Texas’ largest event–The State Fair of Texas– which just wrapped up on October 23rd. 

“AT&T is connecting attendees like never before. We made enhancements to our network and added Wi-Fi to high-traffic areas so that every selfie, every video, every social moment can get captured and uploaded quickly,” said Lynette Aguilar, Vice President/ General Manager, AT&T North Texas.
