Preparations underway for ProSweets 2023

For the Special Edition of ProSweets Cologne 2023, exhibitors can choose from three different complete stand packages until mid-December.

For the Special Edition of ProSweets Cologne 2023, exhibitors can choose between three different complete stand packages until mid-December. The supplier fair for confectionery and snacks will take place in parallel to ISM in 2023 and the supporting programme will focus on current and future-oriented specialist topics in the industry.

The preparations for the ProSweets Cologne 2023 - Special Edition are in full swing. Against the backdrop of enormous challenges for the entire confectionery and snack industry, the 2023 edition will take place as a compact and agile Special Edition at the same time as ISM in the halls of Koelnmesse instead.

„We are absolutely convinced that it was the right decision to organise ProSweets Cologne as a special edition parallel to the International Sweets and Biscuits Fair. The prominent positioning of ProSweets Cologne on the central boulevard - i.e. at the heart of ISM - underlines the dovetailing of the content of the two trade fairs, which is also expressed in a coordinated event programme.“

These packages can be booked via the website at an early bird discount until 15 December 2022. As usual, the four product segments: „packaging and packaging materials“, „production and packaging technology“, „operating equipment and auxiliary“ and „raw materials and ingredients“ in focus. 

In addition to current and future-orientated specialist topics, topics of the new zeitgeist will also be discussed. Supply chain issues, changes to the export-orientated geo-strategy or energy and resource scarcity integrated into the programme. The first highlights of the event and congress programme have already been announced. For example, Euromonitor, a long-standing partner of both trade fairs, will be discussing the „Inflation Surge and its Impact on Snacks“. Impact of inflation on the confectionery and snack market in Europe.

This is where Representatives from production and packaging as well as industry and trade, in particular the effects of the energy crisis and the shortage of raw materials in the confectionery sector will be dedicated to this topic.
