Sweets & Snacks Expo — All Editions

Sweets & Snacks Expo is the trade show for candy and snacks retail. The organiser says it brings together everyone from single-store retailers to multinational brands, and presents it as the place to learn what is selling, taste what is new and meet the people who buy and sell in two of retail's most profitable categories.

The 2026 edition was held from 19 to 21 May 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The next edition moves to a new city: the organiser lists Indianapolis, Indiana, at the Indiana Convention Center, from 18 to 20 May 2027, with a supplier showcase on 17 and 18 May. If you attended in Las Vegas, plan for a different location and travel route in 2027.

The organiser highlights three reasons to attend. Buyers can review the latest launches and trends to sharpen their assortment. The Most Innovative New Product Awards, known as MINPA, spotlight new candy and snack products. The programme also includes insight sessions on packaging and flavor trends, retail strategy and shopper behavior, plus time for building connections with industry leaders.

Confirm the dates and venue on the organiser's site before you book, because details can change. TradeShowBuzz lists both the 2026 and 2027 editions so you can compare them and plan ahead.
