When baking and food service professionals arrive in Chicago this fall for the first annual All Things Baking trade event, they'll have virtually "all things educational" at their disposal, thanks to a comprehensive program that gives participants a wide range of industry-specific learning opportunities designed to help them energize and grow their businesses.

According to Joe Turano, All Things Baking Committee Member and Director of Operations at Turano Baking Company, the three-day event is geared to forward-thinking food service professionals who are looking for ways to take their business to the next level.

"Today's consumer trends favor independent bakeries, cafes and catering companies that are agile, flexible and in tune with their customer base," said Turano. "All Things Baking will deliver the timely educational offerings to help our attendees make the most of the opportunities created by this trend."

All Things Baking will be held in Chicago, Illinois, October 2 - 4, 2011.
