But the COVID-19 pandemic and related stay-at-home orders accelerated the role of daily snacking for consumers in search of comfort.

Snack giant Mondelēz International Inc. and trade media leader VendingMarketWatch.com will host a webinar on May 18, 2021, to discuss how these snacking trends are impacting micro markets and vending.

Lending their expertise and insights as panelists are operators Linda Saldana, cofounder and customer relations vice-president of Seventh Wave Refreshments (Atlanta), and Arthur Siller, senior vice president of operations and business development of Evergreen Refreshments (Seattle), along with renowned micro market integrator Steve Closser of Translucent LLC.
