Registration fully opens for World Confectionery Conference 2026
Registration for our 2026 edition of the World Confectionery Conference is now open, continuing the momentum for our key industry showcase as it looks towards its fifth live event.
Our global gathering is set to take place at the The View in London, on 10 September 2026, with sustainability, innovation and major policy developments set to sit at its heart.
We shall also place sector resilience as a further cornerstone of the event, as businesses from around the world across equipment, systems, ingredients and finished product development, meet respective challenges head on.
For a full review of our 2025 iteration, see our November edition of Confectionery Production magazine, which offers a comprehensive breakdown of what proved another highly memorable occasion.
Registration for our next event will be via our dedicated website, confectioneryconference.com and we have maintained our early bird entrance rates from last year at €175 for our day, as well as with speaking and exhibiting packages for our must-attend event. In addition, you can further reflect on this year’s show via our event gallery. Our exclusive video review of the conference is also fully available to view (watch below).
Despite those background tests in terms of fast-evolving legislation including the EUDR deforestation frameworks, fresh European packaging regulations, as and due diligence laws making their way through the European Parliament and supply chain tests within chocolate and cocoa segments, markets have proved resilient and are continuing to show signs of progressing strongly.
The next edition of our conference calls in on London, and is being staged in the capital for the first time, offering a major opportunity to meet and engage with the latest tests and champion fresh innovations.
It will also once again see the return of our World Confectionery Awards, ranged across six categories, which are now also open for entries, so please do get in touch with your nominations at an early stage before our deadline (next July) to put your entries together within equipment, systems, ingredients, finished product, team and sustainability initiative categories (via our website at confectioneryconference.com
Editor Neill Barston enthused: “We are looking forward to warmly welcoming the industry to our fifth live event, which is once again set to assemble leading talents from right across the industry.
“Our event really does span the entire value chain of our sectors, and from speaking to those who have attended over the past five years, it has been very much valued by our friends and colleagues from right across the confectionery and snacks world.
“We don’t hold back on shining a light on some of the biggest challenges of the day, as welcoming some of the subsequent opportunities that now exist across the industry, so we’ll look forward to seeing as many of you as possible next September.”
