“All of the participants here today are all partners of ours. They're our clients, they regularly use Auro in their creations. And that's why we also want this platform to showcase their products and their capabilities. A lot of the brands have been with us since year one, but every year, we make it a point to introduce new brands. So you see here a mix of old and new,” Kelly Go, co-founder and managing director of Auro Chocolate, shared on the sidelines of the World Chocolate Fair launch.

“We also try [to include what’s new and exciting]. We're also curating a particular experience, we want to make sure that there is a good variety of different products,” she said. “We have something for everybody. You know, we have savory and sweet treats and drinks. Just really showcasing the versatility of cacao and chocolate and everything that Auro has to offer. It's amazing for chocolate lovers, this is definitely heaven. But even if you're not a chocolate lover, I think it's just a great place to hang out. See the set that we've created and really try to embark on this journey that we've created.”
