Post-show follow-up: Close the loop with exhibitors your team didn’t reach on a 275,000-square-foot show floor, using contacts confirmed to have actually attended.
Confirmed data over pre-show forecasts: A list built from who actually exhibited — including the 300+ first-time exhibitors drawn to the new venue — is more reliable than one built from advance registration data.
Getting ahead of the 2027 return to Indianapolis: Many companies that exhibited in Las Vegas are likely to return for the 2027 edition. Starting outreach now, using this year’s confirmed contacts, puts you ahead of the next pre-show rush.

Sweets & Snacks Expo exhibitors span the full confectionery and snack landscape, including:
Sweets & Snacks Expo runs more than just an exhibit floor. Two recurring program elements are worth knowing:
Supplier Showcase — a dedicated pre-show event, held the day before the main floor opens, connecting ingredient suppliers, packaging providers, equipment manufacturers, and service firms directly with confectionery and snack brand operators, ahead of retail-buyer foot traffic.
Most Innovative New Product Awards (MINPA) — a program recognizing standout new consumer products across a dozen categories, judged by a panel of retail buyers. The 2026 winner for Best in Show was Belle’s Gourmet Popcorn’s Matcha Latte Popcorn.
This was the show’s first year in Las Vegas. Sweets & Snacks Expo had been based in Indianapolis in recent years before the 2026 move.
The show returns to Indianapolis for 2027, running May 18–20 at the Indiana Convention Center — and is scheduled to stay there for 2027 and 2028.
It’s a trade-only event. Only manufacturers of confectionery and snack products are eligible to exhibit on the main floor, and general public admission isn’t offered.
The National Confectioners Association has confirmed Sweets & Snacks Expo 2027 for May 18–20, 2027, returning to the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. If you’re planning outreach around the 2027 edition, this 2026 exhibitor list is a strong starting point — many exhibiting companies return year after year.
