More Industry Folks Meeting Up

I really can't decide if I want to subject myself to these meetings I hear about where the business of candy is the topic of conversation. I'm turned on by the idea of finding out new trends and how candy is made, however how to make candy cheaper is a common topic that makes me a little sick.

R and D Labs

You really don't imagine all of the business that goes into making a new treat however if you wanted to learn about it there's an interesting seminar happening. Most notably I'd love to spend a day at this companies R and D lab just to hang out, eat, and make crazy candy concoctions.

Making Sure New Candies Are Created

I’ve never heard of the PMCA before but they seem to be running an interesting conference on creating new confections. I’m happy that they’re doing something like this however I’m a little nervous because it looks like they’re covering trends as opposed to creativity. There are far too few candy companies in the world that are making large profits and not using the profits to be creative. Often I find that the most creative groundbreaking treats today are made by small companies and not the larger companies with the budget to do it. I hope that a few large candy companies attend this and I hope the topic of creative candy making comes up and the focus isn’t on making trendy treats.
