Dear Pizza Makers:


If this is your first Pizza Expo® – welcome! If you’ve attended previous shows – welcome back!We’re delighted you have chosen to join us and we promise lots of pizza excitement over the next three days. Inside the hall, you’ll find a show floor of pizza-only products and services.Plus, you’ll have three days to attend many of this year's exciting new seminars, along with two tantalizing keynote sessions. We’ve brought back New Operator Monday for a second year and added what we're calling All-Operator Thursday to bookend this year's show. Our popular Beer & Bull® networking sessions run on Tuesday and Wednesday. This year, the International Pizza Challenge™ again will recognize the World’s Best Traditional Pizza and the World’s Best Non-Traditional Pizza, but we've also added new categories for American-Pan and Italian-Style pies. The fun and excitement of the World Pizza Games® returns as well, climaxed with a Rockin’ Party on Wednesday night featuring the finals of the freestyle dough-tossing competition.


We appreciate the trust you place in us each year to produce a show worthy of your time and financial commitment. And we thank you for coming to share with us. We can’t forget our exhibiting partners, sponsors and advisors for their generous support of this great event. Our combined staff at Pizza Expo®, Pizza Today™ magazine and the National Association of Pizzeria Operators has spent the past year organizing International Pizza Expo® 2012 to bring fresh ideas to you and your business. Look for us and for our pizza operator partners, who conduct many of the demonstrations and seminars. We'll be in the red Pizza Expo shirts, and we'll be happy to talk business with you.
