Description

SNACKEX, organised by the European Snacks Association (ESA), is the only 100% focused savoury snacks and snack nut event in Europe. The event is a unique opportunity to buy, sell and network with industry professionals and decision makers. SNACKEX unites the savoury snack industry in a single-destination tradeshow and conference to give attendees the edge they need to be successful in today's rapidly changing marketplace. The 2013 show in Gothenburg, Sweden, saw 2,000+ industry-linked visitors from 70+ countries. Over 5,000 sq m of exhibition space with 120+ exhibitors from countries as far afield as China, India, Argentina and Australia reflect the truly global reach of the show. Alongside the trade show SNACKEX features many hours of expert speaker conference programming to give industry participants solutions and guidance on the critical issues that will help them more rapidly, efficiently and successfully develop their businesses. Savoury snack industry executives attend SNACKEX to get solutions to the industry’s most pressing challenges and to meet others who can help improve their products.
