The great novelty which stood out this year was the launch of Vision Plaza, a space in which experts from the confectionery industry exchanged opinions on how consumer habits have changed, what innovations will be launched during 2020, and what the trends are in the out of the home sector. And if one of the most intense moments of the event had to be underlined, it was undoubtedly the celebration of the ninth edition of the Ice Cream World Cup, which once again placed Italy at the top of the podium and granted Japan and Argentina second and third place respectively.
