The triennial event provides a forum for manufacturers and suppliers to showcase their solutions to thousands of baking professionals from around the world, debut their innovations and form meaningful connections across all segments of the grain-based foods industry. The 2022 event will be the first time this global audience has come together since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our industry has faced many new challenges since the last Baking Expo, including supply chain issues and ingredient shortages related to the coronavirus crisis. We’re hearing from attendees, suppliers and manufacturers who are ready to reconnect, to share how they’ve navigated common issues and to get back to doing businesses face-to-face. We’re excited to provide an opportunity for our community to engage in that discovery and relationship-building after such a transformative time,” said Dennis Gunnell, IBIE chair. “IBIE 2022 will be the first large-scale baking event held in person since 2019 — and it will be an invaluable, unique experience that covers the products and trends representative of the current state of our industry, as well as a chance to reunite and celebrate recent advancements.”
