Vitafoods Europe plans 15th anniversary celebration

Date: 25/01/2012

Nutraceuticals, raw materials and functional food and drink ingredients show Vitafoods Europe is set to celebrate its 15th anniversary at Palexpo, Geneva, later this year.

The event, from 22-24 May, is co-located with Finished Products Expo, a leading dietary supplements event.

And, for the first time, the the newly-created Vitafoods Europe Conference Executive Advisory Board – which consists of industry experts from around the globe – has asked scientists, research teams and commercial managers to submit conference papers in their area of expertise to be considered for inclusion within the three-day programme. The Executive Advisory Board is currently reviewing all submissions and will announce the full programme by early February.

“The conference has been a respected forum for scientific developments for a number of years, but with the peer-reviewed content we’re confident the programme for 2012 will have sessions to help R&D, brand and corporate management in developing new products in new markets,” says conference producer Lynne Evans.

“In addition to the scientific and commercial sessions at the conference, Poster Sessions on the show floor will give researchers an opportunity to share their innovative projects with other potential collaborators, researchers or commercial partners or investors.

“Exhibitors will also have the chance to demonstrate their latest products before an engaged, targeted audience at the Supplier Seminars, while the New Products Zone will act as a guide map for visitors wishing to plan a route that encompasses new products of interest.”

“We’re very proud to be celebrating the 15th anniversary of Vitafoods Europe by creating an exciting and innovative programme for both shows,” adds event director Chris Lee. “Vitafoods Europe has been so successful because we’ve worked to adapt and evolve the show each year. We hope to draw on this rich heritage to deliver two informative exhibitions that are once again considered the year’s must-attend events for the nutraceutical and dietary supplement industries.”
