Barbara Corcoran presents SNAC Tank pitch competition at SNAXPO

Modeled after the popular TV show Shark Tank, 'SNAC Tank' will close out SNAXPO 2019, held March 31 to April 2 at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center in Orlando.

The competition will be emceed by Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran, who has bought into more than 17 food-related companies through her time on the show. The SNAXPO program will allow start-up brands to pitch their snack products and business models to a panel of judges, and the winner will take home a cash prize.

Elizabeth Avery, president and chief executive officer of SNAC International:

“The competition presents an excellent opportunity for emerging companies to boost their visibility to global snack industry leaders and established companies.”

Elizabeth Avery:

“SNAXPO is the world’s premier vertically integrated supply chain trade show for the snack industry, and SNAXPO19 in Orlando will feature more education and networking opportunities than ever before.”

Following on the success of last year’s inaugural SNAXPO Innovations Hub, the 2019 installment will be featured in a prominent location inside the exhibit hall to create an enhanced attendee experience.

The SNAXPO Innovations Hub, through a partnership with Sosland Publishing Company, showcases equipment and ingredients newly released within the past two years.
