Best cookie convention?

[Amy S]

Hi All - would love to hear your thoughts on the best cookie conventions in the US. I'm new to this group and I'd like to attend some conventions that have packaging and equipment vendors - all ideas are welcome. Much thanks! Amy

Welcome to the group! For great cookie conventions, check out CookieCon, which is perfect for cookie decorators and has plenty of vendors for packaging and equipment. Another option is the Sweets & Snacks Expo by the National Confectioners Association, which features a wide range of products, including those for cookies. Both events are fantastic for networking and discovering new supplies.

Hi Amy, welcome to the forum! For cookie conventions in the US, you might want to check out the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) in Las Vegas, which is a comprehensive event held every three years, featuring a variety of packaging and equipment vendors. Another great annual event is the Sweets & Snacks Expo in Chicago, which showcases innovations in snacks and confectioneries, including cookies. Both conventions offer excellent opportunities to explore the latest in baking technologies and trends.
