Though we’re celebrating love today with chocolate and candy hearts, it’s not too early to start thinking about Halloween and Christmas.
 
ECRM’s Candy Planning: Christmas & Halloween event, set for Feb. 18-21 at the Hilton in Chicago, will bring together manufacturers and retail buyers in short, speed-dating-style meetings designed to maximize efficiency.
 
Furthermore, Candy Industry and ECRM will again host the Kids Choice Awards. About 50 young people from the Union League Boys & Girls Club of Chicago will judge submissions in the Chocolate, Non-Chocolate and Novelty categories. In addition to bragging rights, winners will receive free advertising space in an upcoming issue.
 
Be sure to pick up our April issue for post-show coverage. In the meantime, check out a few products manufacturers will debut or highlight at the show. See you there!
