Mission Statement
Fostering Communication and
Innovation in the Candy Industry


The Western Candy Conference is a non-profit association
that promotes the common interests of confectionery
manufacturers and those who supply goods and services to the
confectionery industry. An annual conference gives executives
from all sectors of the industry and representatives from national
organizations, including the National Confectionery Association,
an opportunity o meet in a relaxed atmosphere to discuss
common concerns and to learn from an informative educational
program. Business sessions focus on critical issues and
legislation affecting the candy industry and its suppliers.
Recreational events and social activities provide the opportunity
for informal discussion and the development of friendships.
Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, the WCC supports
initiatives as appropriate to address legislative or regulatory
issues as well as common business concerns.
