Scouting Products and Tools
Showcase will provide a gathering place for all facets of the baking industry. Bakery businesses will find baked goods (fresh, proof & bake, par-baked, freezer-to-oven, thaw & serve), baking ingredients, equipment, packaging services and technology and experts to keep you up to date on baking innovations.
Finding Solutions to Pain Points
As government regulations ban the manufacturing of certain types of hard-to-recycle plastics, busy bakeries, pizzerias, restaurants and food businesses are facing the daunting task of sourcing alternative sustainable packaging. You and your team will make helpful connections with suppliers of state-of-the-art packaging, equipment, innovative ingredients, tech tools, financing programs, sustainable packaging and more. At every booth you’ll find experts ready to problem-solve with you on your most persistent challenges, help you work smarter, grow and reap the rewards.
The next Showcase West happens in 2027, so don’t miss your chance to connect now in the Vancouver! It’s the only show like it in Canada, a one-stop shop for making connections with vendors and fellow baking professionals and the best way to refresh your bakery business and get up to date on trends!
