A world of benefits

With the largest offering to date, IBIE delivered a superior attendee experience and provided insights and thought-provoking perspective.

+The 2019 International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) recently wrapped up its largest show to date at the Las Vegas Convention Center after welcoming baking industry professionals from around the world on September 7-11, 2019. With nearly 1,000 exhibitors – 237 new to IBIE – and the largest show floor in its 100-year history, IBIE continues to break records reflecting the growth and health of the industry. More than 20,000 baking industry professionals walked the exhibit hall – with baker participation increasing nearly 10 percent over the previous expo in 2016. IBIE’s new all-in-one exhibitor booth pricing also encouraged exhibitors to bring more equipment and machinery than before – totaling nearly 600,000 pounds of additional freight –a huge benefit for bakers to experience multitudes of product and equipment on the show floor.

Much of the growth has come from international markets with attendees hailing from more than 100 countries and making up nearly 30 percent of the total attendance, with the largest participation from Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Japan and Mexico.

“IBIE continues to provide the platform for the entire baking community to gather and celebrate the vibrancy of this industry, innovative trends and digital automation technologies, advances in baking processes and the thousands of bakers and support services who have a passion and commitment to the success of this industry,” said Joe Turano, IBIE chairman.

“IBIE is focused on meeting the professional and business needs of every attendee. We take pride in crafting content that is cutting edge, interactive, engaging and thought-provoking. With a sold-out show floor, we experienced innovations and exciting technology that will lead this industry into the future.

I know that we are leaving feeling reenergized and recharged with fresh insights and new relationships to cultivate.”

The next IBIE will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 17-21, 2022, with a full day of education on September 17. +++
