About the International Baking Industry Expo (IBIE)

The International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), also known as “Baking Expo™”, is the largest and most comprehensive grain-based food industry event in the Western Hemisphere. Held every three years in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, from September 9–13, 2028, IBIE convenes the global baking community to foster growth, economic expansion, and industry advancement. As a non-profit event, all proceeds are reinvested into the grain-based food sector.
IBIE’s origins trace back to 1920, founded by the American Bakers Association (ABA) and the Bakery Equipment Manufacturers and Allieds (BEMA), with support from the Retail Bakers of America (RBA).This ensures its professional authority and broad industry coverage.

Essential IBIE Exhibitor Guide & Tips

Clear, practical tips to make your IBIE booth setup smooth — and your show results stronger.
1. When and where is IBIE 2028 held?

IBIE 2028 will take place on September 9–13, 2028, in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

2. When should I start planning for IBIE?

As an exhibitor for IBIE 2028, strategic planning should begin now. Since the show only happens every three years, early preparation is essential for success.

Space sales for the 2028 show will begin in 2027. Based on the show’s established timeline, priority selection for members and past exhibitors is expected to happen in March 2027. General space selection will likely open in April 2027 on a first-come, first-served basis.

Key reasons for early planning include securing prime booth locations, budgeting for exhibit design and logistics, and developing a robust marketing and lead generation strategy.

To prepare for the 2027 space selection, you should start finalizing your booth design concepts, marketing goals, and overall budget now. Key logistical deadlines, such as when the advance warehouse accepts shipments, typically begin in July 2028. Starting the process early ensures a successful exhibition!

3. What’s the process to register for IBIE?

As an IBIE exhibitor, registering means securing your booth space.

  1. Submit Exhibit Contract & Deposit: Apply for your desired booth size with the required initial payment.
  2. Space Selection: Participate in priority selection (if eligible) or general selection (first-come, first-served).
  3. Access Exhibitor Resource Center: Once confirmed, this online portal allows you to register staff badges, order services (furnishings, utilities), and complete your company’s show profile to attract attendees.

Act fast if you haven’t secured your space—it’s limited!

4. What documents or info do I need to prepare?

  • Payment information for the deposit.
  • General product categories you’ll exhibit.

After contract confirmation (via Exhibitor Resource Center):

  • Detailed company profile: Descriptions, logos, product listings for the show guide.
  • Staff information for exhibitor badges.
  • Booth design/layout plans.
  • Logistics details: Freight info, target move-in/out dates.

  • Wednesday, September 10, 2025 – Saturday, September 13, 2025
  • Times: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM each day.
6. What are the booth design regulations at IBIE?

IBIE booth design regulations are detailed in the Exhibitor Services Manual (ESM). Key regulations cover:

  • Height Restrictions: Generally 8 feet for linear booths (front half often 4 feet), 12 feet for perimeter booths, and 16-20 feet for island booths, depending on size. These prevent blocking neighbors’ views.
  • Line-of-Sight: Rules ensure visibility for adjacent exhibitors.
  • Structural Integrity & Materials: All structures must be stable, self-supporting, and use fire-retardant materials.
  • Hanging Signs: Typically allowed only in island booths, with specific height and setback limits.
  • Utilities & Safety: Compliance with electrical codes, safety for machinery, and submission of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for any chemicals.
  • Sound Levels: Regulated to prevent interference.

Always review the ESM thoroughly and consider submitting your design plans early, especially for complex booths.

7. How do I design a booth that stands out at IBIE?

To make your IBIE booth stand out, focus on these elements:

  • Visual Impact: Use bold, professional graphics, strong branding, and strategic lighting. Ensure your key message and logo are large and legible from a distance.
  • Interactivity: This is crucial! Offer live baking/decorating demonstrations, product sampling, or even interactive digital displays. Let visitors engage with your products or processes.
  • Experience-Driven: Create a memorable experience, not just a display. This could be a themed environment, a comfortable lounge area, or a unique photo opportunity.
  • Clear Call to Action: Make it obvious what you want visitors to do – taste a sample, watch a demo, ask a question, or get a quote.
  • Engaging Staff: Your team is part of the design. Ensure they are knowledgeable, friendly, and proactive in engaging attendees.
  • Effective Product Display: Showcase your best products attractively. Use tiered displays, good lighting, and clear signage.

Balance striking visuals with functionality and an inviting atmosphere to draw people in.

8. What booth sizes are most effective at IBIE?

The most effective booth size at IBIE depends on your goals, budget, and product.

  • 10’x10′ (Linear): Cost-effective, ideal for focused lead generation, one-on-one meetings, or showcasing a limited number of products.
  • 10’x20′ (Linear): Offers more space for displays, small meeting areas, or modest interactive elements, while remaining budget-friendly.
  • 20’x20’+ (Island): Best for large equipment, multiple demos, private meetings, and creating an immersive brand experience. Most visible, but also most expensive.

Choose the size that allows you to best achieve your objectives, ensuring enough space for interaction and product display.

9. Can you help with custom booth design for IBIE?
Yes. Our in-house team handles creative concepts, technical drawings, and final 3D renders. We align the design with your product, target audience, and IBIE guidelines. Every detail—from materials to lighting—is tailored to deliver impact.
10. How long does booth construction take?
Custom booth production usually takes 1–2 weeks, plus time for design approval. We recommend starting early to allow time for revisions, permits, and logistics.
11. What materials are best for building a IBIE booth?
We use aluminum systems, tension fabric, laminated wood, acrylics, and LED panels. These are light, strong, and fire-rated. They also allow quick setup and clean finishes. All materials follow venue safety codes.
12. Can you handle installation and dismantling?
Yes. We manage all labor orders and scheduling. Our union-certified team sets up everything—from structure to lighting—on-site and on time. After the event, we dismantle and pack up efficiently. You don’t lift a finger.
13. How can I make my booth more engaging?
Use motion or interaction to draw attention. Try:
  • LED video displays
  • Touchscreen demos
  • Product tryouts or VR
  • Branded giveaways
  • Open lounge-style layouts
We help integrate engagement without overloading the space.
14. Do you offer booth storage after IBIE?
Yes. We store booths in our Las Vegas warehouse. After the show, we inspect, repack, and store your structure and graphics safely. This saves cost on rebuilds and keeps your assets ready for the next event.
15. Can I reuse my IBIE booth?
Definitely. We build modular structures that can be adapted and reused at other shows. You can change graphics, resize elements, or upgrade tech without starting from scratch.
16. What’s the difference between rental and custom booths?
Custom booths are designed from scratch and offer full creative freedom. Rentals are quicker and budget-friendly—ideal for first-time or limited-budget exhibitors. We offer both, and help you choose based on your needs.
17. What should I bring to the show?
Bring:
  • Brochures or flyers
  • Business cards
  • Chargers, cables, adapters
  • Lead scanners or forms
  • Branded items (giveaways)
We give you a full checklist so nothing is missed.
18. How many staff do I need in the booth?
We recommend 2–3 people per shift. One person greets, one presents, one captures leads. Rotate regularly to avoid fatigue. We design booths to support team movement and comfortable conversations.
19. How should I follow up after the show?
Follow up fast—within 3–5 days. Thank visitors, attach brochures, and mention your booth. We help set up digital lead capture so you can export and contact everyone smoothly.
20. I'm new to IBIE. Can someone help guide me?
Yes. You’ll get a dedicated project manager who supports you before, during, and after the show. We handle design, build, transport, union rules, and emergencies—so you can focus on your business.
