It's Time for Salon Du Chocolat
The world’s largest chocolate fair will be held October 28th through November 1st at Porte de Versailles. With 220 chocolatiers, confectioners, and pastry makers it’s impossible to not gain at least five pounds while spending a day roaming the exhibition space. What’s even better is that the organizers have announced a new addition to the lineup of events for 2015: The World Chocolate Masters Final. According to the website, there will be live competition demos and educational conferences. The fair will also be offering a workshop for diabetics. Patisserie Eugene, the first bakery offering reduced sugar goodies, will be giving people a 45-minute demonstration on making desserts they can actually eat.

Here's a little teaser video the organizers have posted on the official site:
