About

The International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), held every three years in Las Vegas, stands as the largest and most influential event in the Western Hemisphere for the grain-based foods industry. It brings together every segment of the baking community—from millers and manufacturers to suppliers and retailers—in a dynamic and collaborative environment that fuels innovation and growth. This exceptional gathering serves as a catalyst for the next generation of bakers, providing a platform for education, networking, and the promotion of new technologies that shape the future of baking.

IBIE is a vital meeting point for professionals in all corners of the baking world. Whether it's a small artisan bakery or a large-scale commercial operation, the event caters to every aspect of the industry, offering insights into the latest trends, techniques, and equipment. The exposition attracts thousands of attendees, including bakers, suppliers, manufacturers, and entrepreneurs, all eager to exchange ideas, discover cutting-edge products, and expand their business horizons. It's not just about the latest ovens or mixers, but a chance to explore the entire baking process from grain to packaged goods.

Organized by the American Bakers Association (ABA) and the Bakery Equipment Manufacturers and Allieds (BEMA), and supported by the Retail Bakers of America (RBA), IBIE is more than just an exhibition—it's an educational and professional development hub. The event is designed to promote economic growth within the industry by providing bakeries with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive in an ever-evolving market. Workshops, demonstrations, and seminars led by industry experts offer invaluable insights into everything from ingredient trends to sustainable production practices and the latest in baking technology.

A key feature of IBIE is its commitment to advancing the baking industry as a whole. The event focuses on not only showcasing innovation but also addressing challenges and opportunities that impact the global food supply chain. Topics like automation, digitalization, and sustainability are central themes, with exhibitors and thought leaders presenting solutions that help bakeries operate more efficiently, reduce waste, and meet the growing consumer demand for healthier and more sustainable products. 

One of the defining aspects of IBIE is its non-profit nature. All proceeds from the event are reinvested into the grain-based food industry, further supporting initiatives that benefit everyone in the sector, from small local bakeries to large national brands. The funds raised help sustain educational programs, advance research, and promote the development of new industry standards. This reinvestment ensures that IBIE not only serves as a gathering place for business development but also as a force for positive change in the broader baking and food industries.

Beyond business transactions and product demonstrations, IBIE provides a unique opportunity for attendees to engage with the future of baking. It is a place where innovation meets tradition, where bakers of all sizes can connect, learn, and grow. By fostering a spirit of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, the event is a cornerstone in ensuring the continued success and evolution of the baking industry. For those who are passionate about baking, whether as entrepreneurs, artisans, or industry leaders, IBIE is not just an event—it is a celebration of the craft and a blueprint for its future.
