professionals from around the world, debut their innovations
and form meaningful connections across all segments

the first time this global audience has come together since
the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
" Our industry has faced many new challenges since
the last Baking Expo, including supply chain issues and
ingredient shortages related to the coronavirus crisis. We're
hearing from attendees, suppliers and manufacturers who
are ready to reconnect, to share how they've navigated common
issues and to get back to doing businesses in person, "
