Справочно-информационный материал
 

The sweets and snacks industry has been meeting up in Cologne for its biggest exhibition worldwide for half a century already. This is to be celebrated in style in 2020. For example the "ISM 1971 - 50 Sweets Years" special event will give insights into the 50-year ISM history and at the ISM Night at the Flora, tribute will be paid to exhibitors, who haven't missed an edition. The excellent booking status shows that many companies don't want to miss the anniversary: More than 90% of last year's space is already booked, numerous international market leaders have confirmed their attendance. However, ISM 2020 not only takes a look back, but above all also presents the trend themes of the future in special zones and events.

The online voting for the best founder concept is taking place on the ISM Facebook page, which will be launched in the late autumn. The start-up with the most interactions (likes, shares, comments) wins a founder consultation by the Central College of the German Confectionery Industry (ZDS).
