Industry Trade Show Outlook: Where We're Planning to Be in 2022

The trade shows are back on again, and we’ll be there! Catch up with us at this year’s biggest food and supplement expos.

2022 Major Trade Shows for the Food and Supplement Industries

Trade shows are such an important part of our industry. They’re where we learn about new ingredients and technologies, discuss the latest trends, and form meaningful relationships that can help our businesses grow and thrive. While the COVID pandemic initially caused disruptions to many of these events, 2022 will be the year for us to reconnect at our favorite venues.

Here are the major shows where we plan to see you in 2022:

Natural Products Expo West will be in-person and virtual this year with the in-person show at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA.
