This year’s Sweets and Snacks Expo is set for May 21-23 at McCormick Place in Chicago.

More than 800 exhibitors had registered in mid-April, and at least 30 countries will be represented. In partnership with Impulse Marketing, the show will feature Destination Retail, where visitors can learn how retailers are using technology and innovative merchandising to create a better in-store experience and how the power of occasions supports a year-round seasonal business.

The National Confectioners Association has also developed three tracks for its educational programing: How We Shop, How We Eat, and How We Work. These themes will explore consumer behaviors and trends in treating and snacking. More than 20 educational sessions are planned.

Below is a look at some the products we are most excited to see at the show, listed alphabetically by company name.

Be sure to stop by the Candy Industry booth (No. 4011) and say hello. Also, check out the July issue for all our post-show coverage!
