Convention 2023 just wrapped, and I can’t believe how much there was to take in during the whirlwind event. Throughout the week, there were so many great moments, from the scheduled to the spontaneous and unscripted. It was great to be back in touch with so many in the industry, seeing familiar faces and learning new ones in an incredible environment.

The baking industry provides experiences that leave a lasting impression. The opening moments of the show floor at IBIE: spectacular. The one-of-a-kind connections that are created at BEMA’s conventions: memorable. The details of mass food production learned during a plant tour: amazing.
