Chicago is going to be the chocolate mecca in about three months.
The Chicago Chocolate Festival, a new dual consumer and trade-show event dedicated entirely to the chocolate industry, is slated for Nov. 16-18 at the city’s Navy Pier.
The two shows — the Chicago Fine Chocolate Show (for consumers), and The National Chocolate Show (for the trade industry) — will feature tastings, educational conferences and interactive demonstrations and feature areas.
“We’ve heard from our sponsors and exhibitors alike that chocolate deserves its time in the spotlight,” says Mario Pi, show founder.
Both shows will showcase Chicago as the leader in the chocolate industry, drive advancements in chocolate and educate both audiences through two distinct events.
