Attending the Sweets & Snacks Expo gives me insider access to category experts and other thought leaders.
Sweets & Snacks Expo education covers the latest shopper trends and category insights and provides updates on recent advances in retail technology, merchandising and packaging. I’ll be able to attend insights sessions that will give me information about how to use candy and snacks to enhance our shoppers’ experiences, and I will receive copies of every slide deck presented at the show. That means we’ll get several thousand dollars’ worth of category data and analysis that I can share with our entire organization.
Plus, as a registered attendee, I will receive free, year-round access to:
- IRI category data with curated Sweet Insights summary analysis;

The Sweets & Snacks Expo will be a safe environment for all attendees.
This year’s Sweets & Snacks Expo will be the first in-person event that many in our industry attend since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. To create the safest environment possible for us, the Sweets & Snacks Expo has a number of new safety protocols in place; masking and social distancing are required in all settings. Importantly, the Indiana Convention Center has invested $7 million in upgrades since March 2020, including installing hospital-grade air filtration, touchless doors, Clorox 360 sanitation, hand sanitizer stations, safe concessions and dining areas and more. The venue has safely hosted more than 30 events since August 2020, including the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
