ISM Chocolate Master<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

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.<\/p>\n

This event targets the food trade, and confectionery is obviously the predominant theme. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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: <\/i><\/p>\n

\n

The \u201cNo Copy! \u2013 Originals only!\u201d 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.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
