Organised by GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH, the world’s leading trade fair for bakery, confectionery and snacks will continue to take place in the southern German city until at least 2030. Even before iba 2015, the German Bakers’ Confederation already extended the contract with the Munichbased trade fair corporation. “In advance” as Peter Becker, the outgoing president of the German Baker’s Confederation, announced at the start of the trade fair. The confederation’s new president, Michael Wippler, is also convinced that this is the right decision. Even with Wippler as the new president of the association and – also as of October – with Daniel Schneider as the new chief executive, there will be no “revolutionary changes” in the coming trade fair, the president stresses. “The changes will rather be more evolutionary, with even more professionalism, a more personal approach and hence more emotional.” In the past, the GHM has proven that it is the right partner for this. That is how iba will continue being the most important premiere platform in the industry. The next iba will take place from 15 to 20 September 2018 at the Fairground Messe München.
