Has it Really Been Four and a Half Years?

While it does seem a long time ago, it still boggles my mind that it has been nearly four and a half years since our last Expo in Atlantic City. I can still vividly recall waking up early on a beautiful April Sunday morning in 2018 and heading down the New Jersey Turnpike for two days of excitement at the Expo. I also recall that gas was cheaper than in New York, and certainly much cheaper than it is today.

Upon arrival, registration was done quickly and we were off to the Educational Classes

before hitting the floor to see all of the new equipment and products the vendors had.

Cake Decorators were busy preparing their entries to be judged later that day.
Plus there were on-floor demonstrations throughout the day.

And the good news is that it is finally upon us again. Come join this years excitement and expanded product line. You will be glad that you did.

OCTOBER 16 AND 17TH, 2022

About the Show

BE A PART OF THE ARTISAN BAKERY MOVEMENT
Artisan Bakery Expo East (Previously Atlantic Bakery Expo) , October 16 – 17, 2022, is the only event in the Eastern United States focusing on the specific needs of the retail-artisan bakery community. Every year, ABEE will provide the opportunity to network with thousands of your peers. You’ll learn the latest baking techniques and business practices as presented by some of the most successful bakers in the region. Hundreds of the best artisan bakery suppliers in the country will be on-hand so you can taste and experience the latest cost-savings and profit-generating ingredients, supplies, services and equipment available in the market today.

Artisan bakers will have the added benefit of attending Pizza & Pasta Northeast, a similar event developed for the region’s pizzerias and Italian restaurants. Those bakeries curious or actively looking to expand their business will find everything necessary to research the feasibility of entering the pizzeria business. Focused seminars, demonstrations and competitions, along with hundreds more exhibitors will all be available on the same show floor providing the unique chance to visit two closely related trade shows for the price of one.

Come to Artisan Bakery Expo East for two days to share your passion for the business. This event is designed for you, the artisan baker, offering fresh, un-packaged products sold through specialty retail bakeries, in-store bakeries, bakery cafés and other food service operations.
