The first edition of the chocolate festival in Bruges attracted 14.000 visitors in 3 days.

Almost 70 participants spoiled the chocolate lovers with their newest products, information and spectacles, such as sculpting and body painting in chocolate.  With a ticket for Choco-Laté, the chocoholics could also pay a visit to Choco-Story and to Choco-Atl.

The day before the event, the symposium, held for professionals,  gained good support as well.  The theme "Threats and Benefits of Chocolate" attracted almost 120 participants and the feedback was extremely positive

Although this first issue was extremely successfull, it is still uncertain if the event will be organised on annual or biannual basis.
