MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS
The Sweets & Snacks Expo brings together thousands of confectionery and snack innovators, thought leaders and industry professionals to find new business, advance their careers and make lasting connections.
Buzz Reception
The Sweets & Snacks Expo is more than just a gathering of an industry; it’s a celebration of our community, and this year’s celebration will be bigger than ever as the Sweets & Snacks Expo turns 25.
At the Industry Buzz Networking Reception, you’ll have a chance to connect, share ideas, build relationships and recap everything you learned and saw during the first two days of the show. Taking place on Wednesday, May 25, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the concourse just outside the show floor, this event is invaluable, and the drinks are free!
Awards Ceremony
This annual awards ceremony recognizes the winners of the Most Innovative New Product Awards Sponsored by IRi, as well as the recipients of this year’s Ruby Award for Supplier Innovation, the Golden and Silver Candy Dish Awards and the Confectionery Leadership Awards. After the awards ceremony concludes, the winners of the Most Innovative New Product Awards will be displayed.
Networking Lounges
The Sweets & Snacks Expo is where the confectionery and snack industries come to connect. The Sweets & Snacks Expo’s Networking Lounges provide a great place to catch up with fellow attendees away from the show floor and start a conversation with a new potential partner.
