IBIE to start new education event, IBIEducate 2021
The baking industry’s leading organizations are coming together to create a new kind of educational event. As a part of the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), the American Bakers Association (ABA), Baking Equipment Manufacturers and Allieds (BEMA), and the Retail Bakers of America (RBA) have announced the formation of a joint educational conference: IBIEducate 2021. The new gathering will be held October 26-28, 2021, in Kansas City, MO.
The COVID-19 pandemic and shifting consumer preferences accelerated change across the grain-based foods industry. IBIEducate meets the immediate need for an educational event to deliver top-quality education through one-of-a-kind immersive sessions for the industry’s retail bakers, wholesale production, R&D, engineering, management professionals, and suppliers. While the event is new, the concept is not: the gathering is a part of the world-class education program at the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), the triennial Baking Expo.
