ISM Cologne: The Future of Sweets – January 27-30, 2013
ISM Chocolate Master |
It’s that time of year again – the ISM-Cologne Confectionery Trade Fair. The group calls itself ‘The World’s Leading Trade Fair for the Confectionery Industry.’ There was 35,000 visitors for the 2012 event with over 1,400 different exhibitors.
This event targets the food trade, and confectionery is obviously the predominant theme.
This year the event will take place January 27-30, 2013 with two specialty events: ISM Chocolate Master and New Product Showcase.The master chocolatier Axel Hanf from Belgium will be displaying his works just like last year, and tasters and attendees will have a chance to sample different confections made fresh by him and other Chocolate Masters, made for display and showcase. This will occur every day so you won’t miss a chance. The New Product Showcase is one central location for vendors to present new products, and a way for attendees to view/sample/explore their offerings. The New Product Showcase is a major draw for this event.
And because of this, with all the new products and trendsetters on display, ISM takes intellectual and product piracy very seriously. Their “No Copy – Originals Only” Policy:
The “No Copy! – Originals only!” initiative encompasses measures and activities that Koelnmesse uses to assist exhibitors and visitors whenever there is cause for suspicion in the run-up of a trade fair or during the event itself.
The policy and information on patent, trademark, and copyrighted literature is highlighted in a brochure downloadable on the website.
