New York hosts RTI expo

Chocolate and candy makers will have the chance to meet face-to-face with their suppliers at an upcoming free expo hosted by Retail Confectioners International in the US.

From providers of chocolate and ingredients to machinery and packaging, a variety of suppliers will be exhibiting at this year’s 95th Annual Convention & Industry Expo in Brooklyn, New York.

The expo takes place 23-24 June at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge and confectionery industry professionals are invited to attend (credentials required). Registration for free expo tickets and an online expo map can be found on the RCI website at retailconfectioners.org/annual. As an added benefit, attendees making qualifying orders on the show floor will be entered into a drawing to win great prizes donated by the show’s exhibitors.

“The RCI industry expo has always been about maintaining and creating relationships,” says Jorge Farber, president of The Madelaine Chocolate Company. “As an exhibitor, it is a great place for us to see many of our long-time customers and establish new ones while showcasing our new and innovative products.”

The expo is the lead-off into RCI’s convention week activities that promote education and networking for confectioners.
