El evento principal convoca a un jurado internacional de expertos en Aceites de Oliva Virgen Extra quienes catarán y puntuarán las muestras enviadas por productores de todo el mundo. Los premios que serán entregados de acuerdo a la Calidad Sensorial de los AOVEs son "BAIOOC Gols", "BAIOOC Silver", "BAIOOC Bronze" y "BAIOOC Best of the Best". A continuación, se pondrá a disposición del público una "experiencia de cata" dirigida por sommeliers y especialistas en aceites de oliva virgen extra.

Otro grupo de eventos innovadores pretenden que BAIOOC se convierta en una fiesta del aceite de oliva virgen extra en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires: charlas con personalidades del sector olivícola y del círculo gastronómico de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires que se difundirán a través del canal oficial de YouTube de BAIOOC. Por último, un acto de conmemoración del Día Mundial del Olivo con un hackathon en redes sociales y un homenaje al olivo más famoso de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires en la Plaza de Mayo.

El vocalista del grupo Soda Stereo, Gustavo Cerati, popularizó el término "Ciudad de la Furia" refiriéndose a la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y su movimiento nocturno. Con las siguientes frases inmortalizó el hecho de que miles de personas se aventuren a vivir la noche de Buenos Aires: "Donde nadie me encuentre", "Yo soy parte de todos", "Me verás caer como un ave de presa", "Me refugiaré, antes de que todos despierten", etc. Un recorrido por sus calles y su vida nocturna confirman los aspectos que la hacen furiosa, especialmente en los cientos de bares que permanecen abiertos hasta la madrugada, manteniendo viva la Ciudad.
BAIOOC invitó a los mejores bares de la Ciudad a presentar cócteles en los que se ha incorporado el aceite de oliva, conócelos:
