Meeting Preview
by Shane Whitaker organizers. “The above-average registration rate has given us a real boost,” said Dieter Dohr, CEO and president of the trade fair organizer GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH. “We are very optimistic that we will achieve our ambitious targets for iba 2012. After all, it is only at iba that the entire sector will be demonstrating its potential.” Attendees who want to visit German bakeries firsthand and train in specific areas can participate in iba seminars and exclusive bakery tours. Lochham half-day seminars will demonstrate a cross-section of Bavarian baking techniques and baked goods made in this region of Germany. Presentations will last between 3.5 and 4 hours and are offered twice daily from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2 to 6 p.m. throughout the trade fair. Beginning with a brief introduction to raw ingredients, production techniques and product styles, the seminar moves on to demonstrating current Bavarian baking technology and how different Bavarian baked goods are made. On request, smaller do-it-yourself projects can be incorporated into the proceedings. Each participant also will receive a selection of baked goods to take away with them. The seminar will focus in particular on baked foods from around Bavaria such as sourdough breads, mixed wheat-and-rye breads and smaller baked foods including MaurerLaiberl, Riemische, Pfennigmuggerl, Sternsemmel, Kaisersemmel and Brezn (pretzels). However, unless you know German, it is wise to bring someone who can interpret. Depending on the group size, a place at this seminar will cost from $92.50 (€70) per person. Early booking is advised. As in previous years, the event will offer tours of bakeries in Munich and the surrounding areas. The visiting group will determine the size of the business to be toured. Groups must arrange for their own interpreter if necessary and transportation to the tour venues. If the option is available at the time, an adviser from the Landesinnungsverband (state guild association) will accompany the group. If this option is unavailable, the Landesinnungsverband will brief the bakery owner in advance. These bakery tours are free to groups of visitors. They do, however, need to be booked in advance, and reservations can be made through the Landesinnungsverband. Contact (+49) 089 544 21 30 for information about seminars and bakery tours.
