There will be no IBIE in 2026: the baking expo runs every three years, and the next one returns to Las Vegas in September 2028. Organizers' Sept. 23, 2025, recap called the 2025 edition, held Sept. 13–17 in Las Vegas, the biggest in the show's 105 years, with 1,005 exhibitors, many of them new, and a sold-out 451,100 sq ft of floor, 9% more than 2022. Registrants got access to over 250 education sessions and demos.
Total registration slipped about 4% from 2022 and baker attendance about 8%, but organizers said 91% of attendees buy or influence purchases, from 96 countries. Show chair Jorge Zarate of Grupo Bimbo blamed tighter travel budgets and leaner teams. The American Bakers Association and BEMA own the show, with Retail Bakers of America as a supporter; its ingredients, equipment, packaging and snack halls cover the same CapEx tortilla plants buy.
Dates for 2028 are not settled publicly: bakingexpo.com shows Sept. 9–13, while the 2025 recap said Sept. 10–13. Check before booking. In the meantime, PACK EXPO, TIA Tech and TIA Europe, ASB BakingTECH and iba Munich are the nearer stops.
