ISM Cologne 2023 awaits

ISM is the most prominent meeting place for the sweets and snacks sector. Normally scheduled in January, ISM 2023 dates were postponed to 23rd to 25th April to allow for better planning. Despite the changes in the programming the three fair days will deliver the same exciting networking opportunities, inspiration and innovation. Stay tuned for information whether the co-located Pro-Sweets event will be able to join ISM 2023 rescheduled dates.

Each year, ISM gathers top-shelf exhibitors and highly qualified visitors to the halls of Messe Cologne. The ISM showcase is a confectionary exhibition and vital networking, communication, and decision-making hub illuminating the newest trends in the snacking industry. Over 1800 exhibitors will offer a product display within the top competencies of the fair: cocoa, chocolate, biscuits, snack foods, sugar confectionery, ice cream and raw pastes. Innovations will find a specialised audience at the New Product Showcase and the Start-Up Area alongside the Halla Market, reflecting the current German and European food retail market diversification. Must-attend is also the ISM Award presentation honouring selected contributions to driving innovation in the confectionery and snack industry.

Given the popularity of Cologne as a trade fair destination, hotels during ISM 2023 dates will be in exceptionally high demand. For this reason, we at ExpoBeds advise you to make your reservation as soon as your trade show is confirmed.

What is new for ISM 2023

Due to the complicated geopolitical situation affecting raw material prices, Messe Cologne took the difficult decision to postpone ISM 2023 dates and shorten the expo duration by one day. Amidst an unpredictable geopolitical situation affecting raw materials prices and logistics, planning a successful confectionary exhibition requires implementing a schedule that will meet the exhibitors' demands and provide sufficient return ROI for everyone.
ISM typically shares venue and dates with Pro-Sweets - a showcase of the international suppliers of confectionery and snacks industry. Pro-Sweets organiser will soon announce whether they will be able to join ISM during the April dates - 23rd - 25th. Stay tuned for more information.
