Exciting News For The Future Of The Sweets & Snacks Expo!

To our exhibitors and attendees,

We are excited to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Sweets & Snacks Expo with you this year in Chicago. The city has been our longtime home and has helped us build the Sweets & Snacks Expo into the premier trade show for the confectionery and snack categories.

As we look to the future, it’s critical that we partner with host cities and convention venues that can grow alongside us, support our exhibitors, excite our attendees and offer opportunities for advancement and community building.

Beginning in 2024, the Sweets & Snacks Expo will cycle through a rotation of two years in Indianapolis, followed by one year in Las Vegas until 2032. Both of these dynamic cities are the right fit to meet the growing demand for our show.

The full schedule of locations for the Sweets & Snacks Expo over the next decade is as follows. The show will continue to be held in May each year.

  • 2022 – McCormick Place in Chicago
  • 2023 – McCormick Place in Chicago
