Why Mumbai
Mumbai is the country's commercial capital and the single largest market for packaged ice cream in India. Maharashtra and neighbouring Gujarat between them hold much of the sector's manufacturing, cold chain and distribution capacity.
It is also the best-connected city in the country for the trade that comes to buy: an international airport twenty minutes from the hall, and a western corridor that puts most of India's large manufacturers within a day's travel.

We have a long tradition of bringing our members and ice cream enthusiasts together to celebrate the coolest industry, literally. This edition promises an exciting lineup of the biggest brands, participation from countries around the world, and exceptional networking. As the country's commercial capital and its largest ice cream market, Mumbai offers an ideal backdrop for a global gathering.
We will also explore how technology and logistics are reshaping the way we do business, from flavour innovation to supply chain optimisation.
