The Chocolate Event, recognized as the world’s largest event centered on chocolate, completed last week at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City. Founded in 1997 by Sylvie Douce and François Jeantet, two French entrepreneurs with a great passion for chocolate, The Chocolate Show was quickly adopted by New York City as one of its favorite shows. Fashion Designers, Pastry Chefs and Chocolateries, all joined together to design extremely inspired costumes during the 4 days of the show.
The New York Chocolate Show is one of many international Salon du Chocolat events produced annually by Sylvie Douce and François Jeantet. In 2011-12, shows will be presented in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bologna, Lille, Madrid, Bahia, Cairo, Moscow, Shanghai, Tokyo and six cities in Japan.
