Events
ISM had a lot to offer, with a top-notch supporting programme in addition to what is on the exhibitor’s stands.
Sweets & Snacks as gifts
There´s hardly another sector that can match the originality of producers of sweets and sweet promotional items when it comes to giving their treats clever shapes, packages and names that make them smart gifts for many different occasions. Anything goes if it appeals to the customers - and their taste buds. At our "ISM Fun Fair" the creations and new products from the sector were shown in an attractive setting. Visitors took advantage of this casual atmosphere and discovered inspiration for their business.
Sweet presents
Immersing visitors in a nostalgic county fair setting, the "Sweet Presents" special show displayed works created by international students of design from Köln International School of Design at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences. Under the direction of Professor Jenz Großhans and the designer Sebastian Heilmann, the students created a colourful array of new product concepts.
ISM Chocolate Master
In this special show at ISM, the master chocolatiers from the trade fair ´s partner country, Belgium, demonstrated their high level of craftsmanship and innovative chocolate design.
