We designed the only show in the industry where the exhibitors have been curated to offer you a selection of innovative products that will help you attract shoppers. Taste, test and compare products from hundreds of exhibiters on the show floor, including everything from big brands to cutting edge innovations that haven’t even reached store shelves yet. At Expo, you can explore more new and innovative chips, cookies, crackers, breakfast bars, popcorn, nuts, seeds, and meat snacks than at any other show.
