Organizers have put a call-out for speakers for next year’s event, which takes place from 13 to 15 May (Supplier Showcase: 12-13 May) at the Indianapolis Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In particular, the Sweets & Snacks Expo is seeking industry experts and thought leaders who can provide fresh, relevant insights, new research, strategies, and trends to attendees – retailers, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and brokers in the confectionery and snack industries.

“This engagement provides speakers with a unique opportunity to showcase their thought leadership to an audience of more than 16,000 category leaders and retailers,” organisers said.

The Sweets & Snacks Expo is the premier industry event for the confectionery and snack industries, and the co-located Supplier Showcase is a face-to-face marketplace dedicated to helping confectionery and snack suppliers connect with prospective and existing customers.
