The Salon du Chocolat in Paris has become the leading international platform dedicated to chocolate and cocoa, and the must-attend event for the entire industry.

The BtoB Village

The BtoB Village is also enhancing its content with a rich program of conferences to keep you informed and inspired. Topics include market trends, industry challenges, and insights from cocoa-producing countries. The BtoB Village sectors are detailed below. This is the ideal space to grow your network, showcase your expertise and accelerate your business.
