The Show is coming. After years of disconnection and isolation,
the baking industry is ready to reconnect in a big way with the
upcoming International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) 2022, the
largest, most comprehensive baking industry event in the Western
Hemisphere. IBIE will be held Sept. 17-21, 2022, at the Las Vegas
Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada with a full day of education
on the Sept. 17.
At the Baking Expo™ there is never a dull moment with these
can't-miss events, competitions, compelling displays of creativity,
industry awards, networking events and more. "
These inspiring forums and events create a world of opportuniCharles

ties for conversations with peers and connections with new contacts.
After years of cancelled events, bakers are eager to come
back together at IBIE, to be inspired, to see colleagues, to learn, to
discover the latest innovations.
I am excited for many reasons, to catch up with old friends in
person and to regenerate my brain with a host of innovative ideas
and actionable tips and techniques geared for being successful in
the current economic climate.

was altered for a very different set of circumstance: the 9/11 attacks.
According Sosland's Laurie Gorton, recounting the tragic
event, " at the Las Vegas Hilton, IBIE's headquarters hotel, industry
executives milled about the ground floor corridors, seeking information.
Many participants struggled to learn the fate of family
and friends back East. The attack forced a three-day shutdown
of all air travel, stranding 22,000 IBIE attendees and exhibitors
in Las Vegas, while an estimated 2,500 others who planned to
come missed the show entirely. "
For me personally, this year's IBIE will serve as a vivid memory
that despite the changing times - for good and bad - the baking
community is an integral part of my extended family, and I will
cherish these relationships - always.
