innovations and a prime location. Aside from the exhibits,
various workshops and networking opportunities, the

Feroce said all involve industry leaders who are " exploring
cutting-edge trends, regulatory updates and groundbreaking
scientific discoveries. "
EDUCATION
The education sessions, planned to focus on hot industry
topics and market trends, will include discussions on healthy
aging, supply chain challenges, fermentation, beverage
innovations, food science and sports nutrition, to name a few.
Plus, the show floor plan includes a stage dedicated
to innovation, where exhibitors will highlight their latest
products and technologies. Feroce said the presentations
are there to expand people's thinking and outline strategic
tactics that will help businesses advance. She pointed to
three particular sessions as examples of what to expect on
the stage: " Muscle + Metabolic Health: Redefining the Future
of Health Life Span, " " Adulteration Update: Specifications,
detection and how you can help stop the resale of
irreparably defective ingredients and products, " and " For the
World Within: Cultivating a healthy gut with proven natural
prebiotic fibers. "
Additionally, Feroce said SupplySide West, which is now in
its 26th year, offers such benefits as connecting with potential
customers and collaborators, opportunities to spot emerging
trends and the potential to be inspired and/or motivated by
the industry.
SupplySide West serves as
the ultimate platform to gain
insights into the latest trends,
innovations and technologies,
while fostering invaluable
connections with industry peers. "

unparalleled, Feroce said it is North America's largest and
most comprehensive gathering for the food, beverage and
personal care industries, with participants traveling in from
more than 100 countries.
The teams that put together the show are excited to bring
back some of their favorite features, Feroce shared. She said
