In fact, this year's IBIE is so jampacked with new program additions that even those cagey industry veterans who have attended several previous expositions may find themselves wondering how much they can do over the next four days at the Las Vegas Convention Center. After years of reflection and months of tireless preparation, IBIE Committee members pulled out all of the stops for 2016's new and improved show. As exhibitors nailed down their booths, revved up their equipment and scrambled to put on the final touches during the past week, show organizers are now seeing all of their hard work come to fruition, according to Joseph Turano, IBIE vice-chair and president of Turano Baking Co., Berwyn, IL. "This has been a very exciting year for us. We sold out the show for the first time in our history - with more than 1,000 exhibitors," Mr. Turano observed. As of noon Friday, attendance for IBIE 2016 is tracking 14% over IBIE 2013, which attracted more than 20,000 attendees and was then considered by many industry observers one of the most successful shows in recent history.

"We have attendees hailing from more than 100 countries as well as several large delegations from China, Japan, Mexico and Brazil, among others." Overall, show organizers ratcheted up IBIE 2016 to create a celebration of innovation upon a bedrock of education. In the concourse of the convention hall, visitors can browse through 56 entries in this year's Innovation Showcase, up from 48 in 2013. The education program has grown from a handful of offerings at IBIE 2007 to more than 90 seminars today. "Our programming is diverse, cutting edge and applicable to all segments of the industry," said Andrea Henderson, IBIE education task chair and vicepresident of Rondo. The penultimate goal of this year's 700,000-sq-ft exhibition - which was expanded to accommodate demand from exhibitors - is not simply to be bigger and better, according to Michael Cornelis, IBIE chair and vice-president of American Pan, a Bundy Baking Solution. Rather, he added, the focus has been to make this event the best in every facet imaginable. "We have 340 new exhibitors this year who have never participated in our show before," he aid. "This, coupled with that fact that we've grown our exhibit floor by more than 25%, is a testament to the value and impact of IBIE. " Fred Springer, IBIE technology task chair and president of Burford Corp., added organizers are excited to unveil everything that's new at IBIE 2016. "We've added so much value to the attendee experience through features like the IBIE IDEA Lab, which highlights innovation, the Global Cold Chain Alliance Pavilion, Bakers' Dozen Cafe, Fresh Take Talks, and the All-American Tailgate Party tonight.
