More detailed information about this show will be added soon.
Key features of Confitexpo include:
The official website does not publish attendance figures. Third-party trade-show listings estimate the event's scale: the show is expected to attract over 8,000 attendees and 320 exhibitors from various sectors of the confectionery and related industries. Attendees come from over 17 countries and include importers, wholesalers, manufacturers, and decision-makers with clear purchasing intent. These figures are estimates from external directories and should be confirmed with the organizer.
Registration for Confitexpo 2026 is open. Prospective visitors and exhibitors can register online through the official registration portal (linked from confitexpo.com). Note that Confitexpo is aimed exclusively at trade professionals and positions itself as a specialized B2B platform, so attendance is intended for industry buyers, suppliers, and decision-makers rather than the general public. Exhibitors interested in securing a stand should contact the organizer through the official website for space and pricing details.
Confitexpo was born from the need — identified by Dulcelandia magazine — to create a meeting forum among suppliers, manufacturers, and marketers of the confectionery industry, with the first edition held in Mexico City in 1986. Since 1989 the exhibition moved to Expo Guadalajara, with the vision of offering better results because Jalisco concentrates the largest supply base in the sector. It has been held every summer since 1986 at the Guadalajara Exhibition Center. The 2026 edition, held August 4–6, 2026, is the 40th International Confectionery Show.
Confitexpo 2026 takes place August 4–6, 2026, at Expo Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The 2026 edition is the 40th International Confectionery Show.
