Details of the SupplySide West education program sponsored by Cognis Nutrition and Health have been posted online and sent out in our Show Planner, and what a program it is. We've added a 5th concurrent track that includes sessions from the Research Chefs Association and sessions on Animal Nutrition (a very exciting area for functional ingredients). In fact, we now offer more than 90 sessions covering science, regulations, market trends and more. We have confirmed speakers from FDA, all six NIH-funded Botanical Research Centers, Estee Lauder, International Food Information Council, Tufts, Mintel, Packaged Facts, Sloan Trends, and many many more. We also have more than 40 company-sponsored presentations on specific ingredient science (click here for schedule). And, we have in-depth pre- and post-conference workshops focused on stevia, probiotics, and essential fatty acids. And, there is the 2-day GMP Training Event provided by the Natural Products Association, as well as the Natural Marketing Institute's Nutritional Trends Workshop. There is no other event that offers so much information about the dietary supplement, functional/healthy food and beverage, and cosmetic industries. I'll see you there!
