Celebrating 75 Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to deliver keynote address at SNAXPO 2012. D evoted exclusively to the international snack food industry, SNAXPO 2012 will be even more special because the Snack Food Association will celebrate its 75th anniversary at the annual event.

SNAXPO is considered the premier event for the snack food industry, and next year’s event is a full equipment show that will bring together owners, executives and buyers from every segment of the industry around the world.
