Vitafoods Asia has announced the agenda for its 2017 Conference Program, which suffered a changing of format and it is divided into two segments: high-level Masterclasses and a Digestive Health and Microbiome Summit.
The seventh edition of Vitafoods Asia takes place for the first time in Singapore, in the Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands, September, 5-6.
Chris Lee, managing director, Global Health and Nutrition Network, said: “The motivation behind tailoring the conference program is to allow for focused education, effective networking, and added flexibility. Under the new format, each platform will have a clear objective, while addressing key challenges within Asia’s nutraceutical, supplement, and functional food industry. This way, we hope to offer conference attendees a better experience with content that is more streamlined, while allowing them sufficient time to attend the main exhibition.”
Four Masterclasses, One Summit
The Vitafoods Asia Conference 2017 will present a panel of global industry experts from countries such as Australia, Germany, Sweden, Thailand, The Netherlands, and USA, across various segments and job functions. The power-packed conference agenda will feature four masterclasses held across the two-day event, and a full-day Digestive Health & Microbiome Summit.
Speakers confirmed to date comprise senior industry figures, leading academics of renowned institutes, and representatives from distinguished companies and industry associations. Organizations presenting at the event include Euromonitor, Japanese Society of Anti-Ageing Nutrition, Lifesciences Asia Pacific Network (LAN), National University of Singapore, National Yang-Ming University, Newcastle University International Singapore, Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences and Clinical Nutrition Research Centre at A*STAR, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
