There is a unique magic that happens when the global biscuit community comes together. What started as an ambitious idea to unite biscuit manufacturers, R&D wizards, ingredient gurus, and machinery pioneers under one roof has officially transformed into the industry's premier global hub.

 A throwback to the 2nd edition!

As we pack our bags for the upcoming 10th edition in Santiago, Chile, it’s the perfect moment to look back at the incredible, globe-trotting journey of the Biscuit People Conference (BPC). From our roots on the Croatian Adriatic coast to crossing oceans and breaking language barriers, BPC has grown into a truly unstoppable global community.

Let’s look at the numbers, the milestones, and the shared passion that got us here.

The Journey by the Numbers

To see just how far the conference has traveled, you only need to look at the incredible footprint BPC has left across the globe:

  • 3 Continents traversed

  • 4 Countries visited

  • 8 Vibrant Cities hosted

  • 154 Expert Speakers & Sessions delivering cutting-edge industry insights

What began as a European hub has officially conquered the global stage, bridging the gaps between local traditions and international, mega-scale biscuit innovation.

The BPC Passport: Tracking All 10 Editions

Our history reads like a passport stamped with shared knowledge and technical excellence:

  1. Rovinj (Croatia): The spark that started it all, proving the industry was hungry for a dedicated collaborative space focused entirely on biscuits.

  2. Pula (Croatia): Moving down the Istrian coast, our second edition rapidly expanded our network of biscuit manufacturers.

  3. Umag (Croatia): Overcoming global challenges, the community reunited to unlock the secrets of post-pandemic resilience in biscuit production.

  4. Dubrovnik (Croatia): Set against a historic backdrop, this edition elevated BPC to new heights with a massive wave of international biscuit brands.

  5. Dubrovnik (Croatia): Returning by popular demand to focus deeply on energy efficiency, sustainable packaging, and shifting consumer biscuit trends.

  6. Curitiba (Brazil): Our historic first leap across the Atlantic, blending European tech with the booming Latin American biscuit market.

  7. Cervia (Italy): A phenomenal gathering in the heart of Italian manufacturing excellence, featuring exclusive factory site-visits.

  8. Recife (Brazil): A major step that deepened our ties with South American producers in a sold-out, high-energy environment.

  9. Bali (Indonesia): Our breathtaking first venture into Asia, hosting dynamic sessions on the latest in biscuit technology, functional ingredients, and market trends.

  10. Santiago (Chile) – The 10th Edition: Our upcoming landmark event, breaking into new regional markets and gathering the brightest minds in South America at Le Méridien Santiago.

Smashing the Language Barrier

For years, the universal language of BPC was simple: English (and a shared obsession with biscuits!). Every single conference was held in English to ensure seamless global networking—with two brilliant exceptions that highlight our commitment to our host markets:

  • Recife (Brazil): Conducted entirely in Portuguese, perfectly catering to the vibrant local and regional industry.

  • Santiago (Chile): Looking forward, our upcoming 10th edition will embrace Spanish, opening the doors wide for Spanish-speaking professionals across Latin America to pitch breakthroughs and engage with global biscuit leaders in their native tongue.

Looking to the Future: A Double Dose of Innovation in 2027

The momentum doesn't stop at double digits, and our roadmap for next year is our most ambitious yet. We are thrilled to officially announce a spectacular two-part global tour for 2027:

  • Canada (Spring 2027): Marking our first-ever entry into North America, this highly anticipated event promises to unlock massive opportunities for trade, regulatory alignment, and cross-continental partnerships.

  • Brazil (Autumn 2027): Responding to overwhelming demand from the booming Latin American market, BPC will return to Brazil for an autumn edition, reconnecting with one of the most dynamic regions in the biscuit industry.
