BEMA Convention 2026 brought the baking industry together in beautiful Waimea, Hawaii, for a week of meaningful conversations, valuable education, and lasting connections. From inspiring keynote presentations and collaborative programming to BEMA Connect, Small Group Dinners, and unforgettable networking experiences, attendees strengthened relationships, shared ideas, and explored opportunities that will help shape the future of the industry.

Thank you to every baker, supplier, speaker, sponsor, volunteer, and guest who made this year’s Convention such a success. Your engagement continues to strengthen the BEMA community and advance our shared mission of building a stronger baking industry—together.

This was my second BEMA, and the value you get there is tremendous. BEMA gives me the opportunity to make new connections that might not have been possible or as easily accessible. The sessions give me great insight to bring back to my team as well as points of our Industry I should focus on. Including my family is the icing on top of the cake. I look forward to many more to come!- Randy Kelly, FRITSCH/MULTIVAC Group
