Education is a vital part of growing and developing your baking career. Fortunately, IBIE 2025 will offer plenty of opportunities to learn! This trade show is the ultimate proving ground for innovation, and no matter how seasoned you are, there’s always something fresh out of the oven to learn.

One of the hidden gems of the show? The QuickBITES Sessions. These are punchy, 20-minute presentations designed for busy pros. That means they’re short, rich, and perfectly baked with insights on everything from sustainability and automation to emerging consumer trends in the grain-based food sector.

And yes, this is my shameless plug! I’ll be presenting:

Come for the insights, stay for the dad jokes.

Insights and more!

Here’s what you can expect: In 20 minutes flat, I’ll cover the hottest shifts in bakery marketing, from AI-driven customer insights to content strategies that “rise” above the noise.  These are tools you’ll want in your apron pocket, regardless of whether you’re a wholesale bakery, niche startup, or ingredient supplier.

Our team at BAKERpedia is proud to sponsor this year’s QuickBITES. If you haven’t had a chance to experience them yet, QuickBITES are bite-sized, but they’re packed tighter than a cruffin with data, strategy, and real-world applications. For those whose schedules are already jammed with demos and supplier meetings, these sessions are the perfect way to stay informed without overbaking your brain.

IBIE only rolls around every three years, and if you’re serious about the business of baking, you can’t miss it. Between the expo floor, the technical sessions, and seeing old industry friends, it’s the biggest show for those in the baking industry.

So come hungry for knowledge and leave with a baker’s dozen worth of ideas. And don’t forget: September 17, 12:00 PM, West Hall. I’ll be there!  Let’s talk trends, tackle challenges, and toast to the future of baking!
