The nutraceuticals community is invited to participate in the global event, Vitafoods Virtual Expo and Summit, which will take place in September 2020

Informa Markets, the organizer of Vitafoods Asia, announced that due to the challenges, complexities and disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic  Vitafoods Asia 2020 has been postponed to September 2021. Vitafoods Asia 2021 will be an in-person event. 

To continue to support the industry, Vitafoods Asia is developing its long-term vision on how to work with the industry in this new reality. Informa has agreed with key stakeholders and partners to focus on alternate means to support the industry in 2020, with a commitment that the Vitafoods Asia in-person event will return stronger than ever in 2021.

One response to our communities’ needs to connect, collaborate, and seek meaningful content in the Nutraceutical industry this year, is to host a new, global digital experience, the Vitafoods Virtual Expo, to be held online between 7 to 11 September 2020.

Vitafoods Virtual Expo

A large-scale interactive event, the Vitafoods Virtual Expo will provide a virtual meeting place for the global nutraceutical supply chain to build high-value relationships, showcase and source innovative ingredients, discover the latest trends and together, find practical business solutions for the greatest challenges ahead. 

Chris Lee, Managing Director, Health and Nutrition Network, Europe, at Informa Markets says, “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.”

The Vitafoods Virtual Expo draws on a trusted global network of suppliers and buyers. Data-driven matchmaking, complemented by a concierge service, will connect relevant visitors and exhibitors via 1-2-1 video meetings. 

The event will provide content to inform and inspire innovation across the entire nutraceutical supply chain, through consumer and market trends as well as groundbreaking scientific insights. Furthermore, support in the form of regulatory guidance will help stakeholders navigate the increasingly complex route to market worldwide.

Group networking events that match like-minded peers will also be hosted via Thematic Micro-Communities, which focus on key industry topics including sports nutrition, botanicals, healthy ageing, immune health, probiotics, omega-3s, and product development. Each community will allow visitors to discover innovative ingredients from the industry’s top suppliers, as well as merge connectivity with a unique, tailored learning experience inspired by expert-led on-demand and live content, including webinars, podcasts, product galleries and thematic reports.  

Providing a more in-depth analysis of the nutraceutical industry, Informa Markets will also be launching a detailed State of the Nation report at the Vitafoods Virtual Expo. It will provide 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.

Following the Vitafoods Virtual Expo 2020, Informa Markets will present the global Vitafoods Virtual Summit (15-17 September 2020), which will give attendees the opportunity to dive deeper into key industry topics, as well as learn from and network with the world’s leading nutraceutical, supplement and functional food industry experts. Covering personalised nutrition, digestive health and CBD, each themed half-day event will host an interactive workshop, in addition to Q&As, roundtable and panel discussions, and speed networking events. 

Chris Lee concludes: “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.”
