FCIA Connect is our members-only networking and knowledge-sharing program designed to bring the community together for meaningful conversation and peer learning.

In this session, FCIA leadership will share key observations, emerging trends, and industry insights gathered while attending two major international chocolate events:

• Chocoa 2026 in Amsterdam, Netherlands
• Salon du Chocolat 2026 in New York City

These globally influential gatherings highlight innovations in sourcing, sustainability, retail trends, consumer engagement, and the evolving future of fine chocolate. This FCIA Connect discussion provides members with access to insights that extend beyond event attendance—bringing international perspectives directly to the FCIA community.

Participants can expect:

• Highlights and takeaways from both events
• Discussion of global market trends and industry direction
• Observations on consumer behavior and emerging opportunities
• Open conversation with fellow FCIA members
• Peer exchange and community connection

FCIA Connect sessions are intentionally conversational, giving members the opportunity to learn from one another while strengthening professional relationships across the industry.

This program is exclusive to FCIA members and is included at no additional cost as part of your membership benefits.
