As any professional who's been in the snack or bakery field for more than a minute knows, life in the food industry is always full of ups and downs, as well as challenges and opportunities. One way to increase the chances of experiencing more ups and taking advantage of opportunities is through information. Digging into what's driving consumers, exploring current and emerging challenges, and otherwise enhancing one's industry knowledge can be the difference between future success and frustration.

On August 13, Snack Food & Wholesale Bakery is hosting 2025 State of the Industry: Snack and Bakery. The free online event will share exclusive insights from experts representing some of the foremost bakery and snack associations, as well as one top market insights firm:

  • Christine Cochran, president/CEO, SNAC International
  • Eric Dell, president/CEO, American Bakers Association
  • Sally Lyons Wyatt, global executive VP and chief advisor for consumer goods and foodservice insights, Circana

The presenters will each share their thoughts on current and future market conditions and trends, then field questions from the audience afterward. The event is supported by several industry suppliers:

  • AB Mauri
  • California Walnut Board
  • Cargill
  • GNT/Exberry
  • Heat and Control
  • Kemin Food Technologies
  • Lesaffre
