The CoMan Lounge is a networking hub designed for co-manufacturers, scaling brands, and solution providers to connect in a relaxed, hospitality-driven setting on the Formulation Floor.
Expanded to include emerging and growth-stage companies, the lounge creates a welcoming, destination feel on the show floor. This activation encourages meaningful conversations, informal meetings, and sustained foot traffic, making it a key connection point throughout the event.
The CoMan Lounge puts your company in front of scaling and growth-stage bakery brands who are actively looking to outsource production — brands that need a co-man to build capacity, hit a private-label spec, or launch a new product without building their own plant. It’s a dedicated space on the Formulation Floor built for that exact conversation, not a table wedged between unrelated exhibitors.
A Kiosk Built to Get Noticed
Your space is a 1-meter branded kiosk counter with in-lay graphics carrying your company’s logo, not a bare tabletop. It’s sized and finished to hold its own on a busy floor and give visitors a clear reason to stop.
Show What You Can Produce
Want to show more than you can fit on the counter? Add up to five products to the dedicated showcase area for $500 each — a chance to put your production capabilities and formulation range in front of brands evaluating a co-man.
Real Conversations with Decision-Makers
The brands stopping by the Lounge are working through the same question you can answer: who has the capacity, the spec accuracy, and the packaging capability to produce this for us? These are direct, unhurried conversations with the people who make sourcing decisions, not quick badge scans.
One Flat Fee, No Guesswork
A CoMan Lounge kiosk is $2,150, with no tiers to sort through. Registration for up to two staff is $775 per person and includes access to the Formulation Floor, BakingTECH main stage presentations, daily lunches, the welcome reception, and technical breakout sessions.
Reserve Your Kiosk
Space in the CoMan Lounge is limited to keep the floor easy to navigate. Reserve your kiosk and put your company in front of the brands actively looking to outsource production.
