The association has 700 members, which include domestic and international confectionery manufacturers and suppliers to the industry. It aims to meet challenges and problems in the confection industry.

The NCA offers education and leadership in manufacturing, technical research, public relations, retailing practices, government relations, and statistical analyses.

Annual exposition

The NCA sponsors a yearly exposition of candies, gums and other snack foods at the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago, Illinois. Up to the year 2009 the event was called the All Candy Expo, but starting in 2010 it will be called the Sweets & Snacks EXPO. The trade show has hundreds of booths staffed by representatives of dozens of companies debuting their latest creations.
