Scheduled for March 19-21 in Orlando, FL, this year’s event will include a Startups Hub, Co-Pack Central, Flavor Showdown, Knowledge Zone and SNAC Bites.
“Every snack brand, existing and emerging, needs to consider their appeal to the latest consumer trends,” said Christine Cochran, president and CEO of SNAC International. “SNAXPO is the place where snack brands of all sizes can network, share ideas, learn and rub shoulders with some of the top leaders in the industry.”
Debuting at SNAXPO23, Co-Pack Central will provide snack brands easy access to the snack industry’s leading contract manufacturers. The feature, co-sponsored by the Contract Packaging Association, grants co-manufacturers the opportunity to secure a kiosk for $1,000 to display their latest innovations to the global snack industry.

The Knowledge Zone will include educational seminars and industry discussions on legislative and regulatory priorities, the legal and technical state of cannabis for food, sustainability solutions, Latin American snack trends and insights into successful co-manufacturing.
Lastly, SNAC Bites are opportunities for suppliers to share their innovative ideas, technology and techniques. The 30-minute sessions are free to all attendees.
