Sweets & Snacks Expo

The Sweets & Snacks Expo is North America's premier trade show for the confectionery, candy, and snack industry, hosted annually by the National Confectioners Association (NCA).

The show connects retail buyers, brand managers, brokers, and distributors with manufacturers and suppliers spanning candy, chocolate, gummies, chips, cookies, frozen confections, and emerging better-for-you snack brands. It's the industry's top venue for discovering new products, placing purchase orders, and spotting the trends that will hit retail shelves next season.

A dedicated Supplier Showcase precedes the main event, giving ingredient and packaging suppliers direct access to candy and snack manufacturers ahead of the main floor opening. The expo itself features the New Products Showcase, trend-focused education sessions, and networking events.

The 2027 edition of the Sweets & Snacks Expo runs May 18-20, 2027 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Indiana.
