Session title: Snackification: The Future of Occasions in a Post-Pandemic Normal
 
Session description: Urbanization and technology have historically driven “snackification,” with snack products typically characterized by convenience and portability traits that enable on-the-go and unplanned snacking moments. With “anytime, anywhere” now less dependent on storefronts and physical touchpoints, there is greater focus on ubiquity, value and more targeted health attributes. This presentation will explore the evolved future of snacking occasions and the renewal of key traits that may lead to successful innovation.
