IBIE 2022 opens exhibit space to industry suppliers and manufacturers

The International Baking Industry Exposition, commonly known as the Baking Expo, has opened 2022 booth space selection to all companies serving the grain-based food industry. Following advanced space sales only available to sponsoring association member companies and 2019 exhibitors, the show floor is 80 per cent sold and the remaining space is expected to fill quickly.

This comes after a record-setting 2019 event, where the exhibit hall sold out completely, despite a 10 per cent increase in show floor space. Nearly 1,000 exhibitors (including 237 new to IBIE) and seven million pounds of technology, equipment and supplies were displayed across 430,850 net square feet.

Held every three years, the 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 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.

“There is a real need for collaboration and problem solving that can only be accomplished face to face,” said Dennis Gunnell, IBIE chair. ” We’re excited to provide an opportunity for our community to engage in that discovery and relationship building after such a transformative time.”

“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 current products and trends of our industry, as well as a chance to reunite and celebrate our successes.”

IBIE will be held Sept. 18-21, 2022, at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. To learn more about exhibiting, contact Exhibits@BakingExpo.com.
