What’s hot at SupplySide West 2024

The Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas plays host to SupplySide West and Food ingredients North America, Oct. 28-31, 2024, with Expo Hall hours Oct. 30 & 31. For more than a quarter century, this annual gathering has provided an unparalleled conference space for professionals ranging dietary supplements, sports nutrition, beverages, foods, personal care and beyond. More than 20,000 participants are expected onsite, with additional opportunities — via livestream and on-demand content — for those who can’t attend in person.

In this digital magazine, some of our SupplySide staffers (who work much of the year on the event’s content and programming) reveal their must-attend picks. They’ll also share dates, times, locations, speakers and other pertinent information.

While SupplySide West and Food ingredients North America is known for delivering a robust trade show floor and top-notch education sessions, this year we’re also adding a variety of brand-new offerings. Download the free digital magazine to learn more about these 2024 event innovations:

New education session formats

We’ve revamped our education program to offer a broader range of sessions and experiences.

And chance to win a free copy!) with a published author.

Festivities

SupplySide is always ready to party! Two big bashes going on this year are the Diwali Celebration and SpookySide West. We’ll also be toasting the 30th anniversary of Vitamin Angels, and experiencing pseudo-brushes with fame at the What’s Up With SUPPS Celebrity Icons Party.

Networking opportunities

The SupplySide Networking Hub makes its debut in 2024, serving as a gathering place for a variety of face-to-face connections. Some of the options are Speed Networking, Sustainable Packaging Social, Supplement Delivery Forms Meetup, and Functional Beverage Mixer.

Guided show-floor tours

Led by experienced industry professionals, each day of the Expo Hall offers the chance to join a curated tour of exhibitors focused on the theme of either women’s wellness or sustainability.

Sustainability
