Sandwich & Snack Show: the must-attend event for the fast-food industry

The success of the last edition of the show confirms the importance of this event, entirely dedicated to the fast-food, snacking and takeaway market, segments that are evolving rapidly.
The 2011 edition will meet the demand of an audience that is always looking for innovations and keeping an eye out for the latest trends, with an even richer and more innovative program.

Highlights of the Sandwich & Snack Show 2011:
High-value-added activities will bring this 12ème edition of the Sandwich & Snack Show to life:

Le Snacking des Chefs
A true concentrate of ideas inspired by today's most innovative chefs in snacking, the area will host new demonstrations in 2011 and will place particular emphasis on packaging, in order to promote takeaway sales. Contract catering will also be in the spotlight, with a daily idea dedicated to it.

New for 2011, ?Le marché du chef? will allow every visitor to follow the making of a recipe live: the chef will go ?shopping? among the exhibitors at the show and will offer an original demonstration based on the products chosen.

The conferences
All the sector's major themes will once again be addressed through numerous testimonials. As a highlight of the show, the opening conference by Gira Conseil will unveil the results of the Jambon-Beurre Index, with a focus this year on alternative products to the sandwich.

Also featured: the 2ème edition of the nutritional barometer by Nutritionnellement, new themes around fast-food concepts, and innovations in contract catering snacking...

The Trends & Concepts Observatory
The style agency Bento will host in 2011 a concept exhibition area and two conference sessions to decode trends in the decoration and layout of snacking-related spaces.

Snack Academy: new for 2011!
During the show, project leaders will have the opportunity to present their ?fast-food? ideas to a jury made up of representatives of Bento, the Observatoire de la Franchise and Gira Conseil (application form available on the show's website from September).

Reminder: the sandwich market in 2009/2010
With sales of 35 billion euros including tax (drinks included), the snacking market in France accounts for 1/3 of the restaurant market in France. This form of food service covers all products that do not need to be consumed at a table: sandwiches, soups, salads, pasta, pizzas, sushi, sweet snacks, and cold and hot drinks.

In 2009, the sandwich market in France represented 1,96 billion sandwiches consumed, at an average price of 3,23 euros, for sales of 6,33 billion euros.
