They will discuss the key snacking and confectionery trend implications and activation tips for putting these insights to work. The session will be moderated by show emcee, Mark Jeffries.
WHY: The confectionery and snacking categories are continuously shifting and growing, thanks, in part, to a diversified consumer base shaped by multiple generations and multiculturalism, as well as increased disposable incomes and the confectionery industry’s focus on product innovation via exciting new flavors and packaging.
