A pastry conference is being planned in Charlotte for this autumn, bringing chefs and foodies with a sweet tooth together to celebrate all things involving these tasty treats.
The National Pastry Conference 2026 is coming to the Queen City this October, providing an immersive and memorable learning opportunity for aspiring pastry chefs and allowing visitors to make new personal and professional connections with like-hearted individuals. In addition to learning from the pastry chefs in attendance, guests will get to watch chefs go head-to-head in live baking competitions.
Visitors will have time to explore and indulge in different pastries at the conference while the competition unfolds, with the winner-take-all format adding to the tension and excitement. The competition will weigh several factors to determine a winner, including plated dessert presentations and chocolatier prowess. Promoters can use cost-effective tools like poster printing to generate impressions in busy spaces around town, raising awareness of such events.
Local hobbyists with a passion for baking are encouraged to sign up and participate against the professionals. Ticketed guests will be required to display their event credentials upon arriving at the host venue. Concession stands and food carts will be open throughout the event.
The Charlotte Convention Center will be host for the three-day pastry conference, which opens at 9:00am on Friday, October 3rd, ending on Sunday, October 5th. Daily passes start at $101.92 online, while All-Access packages are $397.74.
