Industry impact
Purposeful content
- Education programs at SupplySide follow the footsteps of our legacy B2B media brands, which have helped CPG brands source, create and develop successful health and nutrition products for close to 30 years.
- SupplySide’s approach has always been content-forward, covering major industry issues, examining trends and predicting future market movement. Companies in the health and nutrition space have been forerunners in their care for environmental sustainability, giving us a great opportunity to be early adopters in the coverage we provide in that area.
- SupplySide’s market is full of innovation and startups, which means we have a large and long-lasting focus on empowering entrepreneurs and small businesses. At SupplySide West, we offer a Virtual Registration Pass where all 14 sessions of the conference program will be available on demand through the mobile app, aiding in accessibility to audience members who might otherwise be disconnected due to current circumstances.
- SupplySide offers a broad range of sessions focusing on environmental sustainability, as well as empowering entrepreneurs and small businesses. Diverse and inclusive speakers are featured throughout the program.
- Highlights include sessions on women's health, and an emphasis on unique health requirements and the need for more clinical trials based on female study subjects.
- Guided opportunities on the show floor include two sustainability-focused tours and two women's health-focused tours.
- An education session focused on upcycling in the food and beverage industry directly supports environmental sustainability.
- SupplySide has implemented the Diverse Voices on Stage program. Our goal is to take an active role in bringing diverse voices to center stage by asking our speakers to complete a survey that will help us create benchmarks for ensuring equitable representation from thought-leaders at our events.
