A programme of capacity building activities which offer outreach, education, business opportunities and networking. Focus on events
SNACKEX
The 19th SNACKEX edition in Hamburg was by far the biggest and best show ESA has ever organised with very high marks from both our exhibitors and visitors! SNACKEX again gathered savoury snacks and savoury snack nut producers and suppliers coming from over 90 countries under one roof and offered unrivalled opportunities to network in an environment that is conducive to business. SNACKEX also featured its varied and very popular programme of key topic industry sessions, including panel discussions on a circular economy for packaging as well as on sustainable sourcing and agriculture. Attendees also had the opportunity to share expertise and get up to date with best practice type of sessions via its prestigious Knowledge Centre, one of the main attractions of the show floor open to all visitors. The next edition will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, on 19 – 20 June 2024.
Snack Production Courses
ESA’s programme of snack and nut production education courses are designed to provide delegates with a thorough, well-rounded and interactive grounding on industry best practice and the latest applications of new technology delivered from acknowledged experts. Snack production courses are a great opportunity for all production and marketing-oriented personnel to meet, network, exchange good practices and to share their own experiences and challenges with peers and expert industry speakers. In November 2022, ESA gathered participants in Malaga, Spain, for a 3-days course focusing on snack nuts, working through all the steps, from origins to end of line. The session programme also included an insightful visit of the Dafisa almonds factory near Cordoba, one of the most advanced nuts processing plants in Europe, as well as a hands-on peanuts flavouring workshop!
Share a Snack
After two years of absence, the ESA team was delighted to celebrate the return of ESA’s iconic summer event “Share a Snack” for its 7th edition in Brussels, at the heart of the European institutions. As in previous editions, a happy and enthusiastic crowd enjoyed a great variety of snacks from all over Europe, including the latest innovations. The participants learned more about (and tasted) our products, as well as about the sector’s ambitions in the path towards a more sustainable food system. Visitors also had the chance to test their knowledge and challenge their perceptions on the sector with a short interactive quiz which was taken close to 300 times during the evening.
