Informa Markets’ is hosting Vitafoods Virtual Expo from September 7-11, 2020 – a large-scale interactive virtual meeting place where the global nutraceutical supply chain can build high-value relationships, showcase and source innovative ingredients, discover the latest trends, and find practical business solutions for the greatest challenges ahead. 

“In a world that has been turned upside down, we know that what the industry needs most is connectivity,” said Chris Lee, managing director, Health and Nutrition Network, Europe, at Informa Markets, in a press release. “High-quality digital content on the latest consumer and market trends, science and regulatory developments is a driving force for innovation no doubt, but only alongside effective collaboration can it help the global nutraceutical community spearhead the future of nutrition and health. This is why we’ve made it our mission to accelerate the digital evolution of our portfolio of events.”

The Expo will use data-driven matchmaking, complemented by a concierge service, to connect relevant visitors and exhibitors in 1-2-1 video meetings. The event will offer the latest consumer and market trends, scientific insights, industry innovations across the entire nutraceutical supply chain, and regulatory guidance to help stakeholders navigate the increasingly complex route to market worldwide.

Thematic Micro-Communities will offer group networking that focuses on key industry topics such as sports nutrition, botanicals, healthy aging, immune health, cognitive health, probiotics, omega-3s, and contract manufacturing. The individual communities will allow visitors to discover innovative ingredients from the industry’s top suppliers merged with expert-led on-demand and live content, including webinars, podcasts, product galleries, and thematic reports.

Attendees will also have access to a detailed State of the Nation report, which offers insight-driven commentary to inspire the industry, and ultimately the end consumer, while also helping to shape key decisions around the future of the global food economy and optimizing health through science and innovation.

After the Vitafoods Virtual Expo 2020, Informa Markets is hosting the global Vitafoods Virtual Summit, Sept. 15-17, 2020, which will give attendees the opportunity to dive deeper into key industry topics and learn from and network with nutraceutical, supplement and functional food industry experts. Covering personalized nutrition, digestive health, and CBD, each themed half-day event will host an interactive workshop, Q&As, roundtable and panel discussions, and speed networking events. 

“The Vitafoods Virtual Expo and Vitafoods Virtual Summit will provide the entire nutraceutical supply chain with interactive online platforms to network, share knowledge and drive innovation in an evolving commercial landscape,” Lee said. “Anticipated to run annually alongside our traditional in-person trade shows, these additions to our offering will help further facilitate dialogues, on the topics that matter the most for today and years to come, all-year-round.”
