For the best events in our industry
BEMA CONVENTION
Located on the majestic Kohala Coast, Fairmont Orchid is a luxury Hawaiʻi Island escape surrounded by 32 oceanfront acres of lush tropical gardens, cascading waterfalls and a tranquil white sand beach and lagoon.
“BEMA’s Convention is the perfect combination of time-honored traditions and relationships with future-facing conversations that drive innovation and intelligent solutions. You won’t find a better place in the baking industry to connect and learn with the best of the best food producers and suppliers.”
– Clay Miller – Burford Corp.
IBIE
Held in Las Vegas every three years, the International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) brings together all segments of the supply chain and professional baking community to fuel the next generation of bakers, promote economic growth, educate and advance the future of baking. All proceeds from this nonprofit event are invested back into the industry.
“As co-owners of the tradeshow, BEMA is dedicated to making IBIE 2025 an exceptional experience for our members and the industry as a whole. IBIE is a showcase event for the grains-based food industry and will be a highlight of your 2025 business travel. I encourage you to take full advantage of sponsorship and educational opportunities, as well as each unique show feature.”
– Allen Wright – Hansaloy
REGIONAL DINNERS
Regional Dinners are a great way to connect and grow industry relationships around a dinner table in a city near you. We have hosted dinners in Atlanta, Kansas City, Dallas, Los Angeles, York, and Columbus. Stay tuned as we may come to a city near you!
“BEMA’s Regional Dinner program offers an opportunity to connect with industry professionals in a casual and relaxed setting. The atmosphere fosters meaningful conversations and stronger professional relationships making it more than just a networking event – it’s a chance to build connections that truly matter.”
– Mitch Lund – HaF SBX.
NEXUS
NEXUS is all about collaboration and being the solution to many of your business and professional development needs. NEXUS has something for everyone from your team from executive leadership and business development to R&D, sales, human resources, and operations.
“The BEMA Ascend program was a great experience that allowed me to attend NEXUS learn more about myself and the industry. I was also able to connect with other vendors and build personal relationships with people that AMF will be partnering with in the future. If the goal of being a BEMA Ascend award recipient is to expand my network and foster connections within the industry, I can confidently say it was a resounding success!”
– Fong Hum – AMF
