Leadership Secrets from Top CEOs - Growing Your Business (and your career) in 2011 and Beyond Thursday, October 14, 2010 from 4:00 p.m. - 6 p.m. in room 251

Growing a business in the nutrition industry isn’t as easy as it used to be. With overall growth in the single digits and high double-digit growth increasingly hard to achieve, it pays to learn from top leaders in the market today.

Join a panel of successful nutrition industry CEOs and hear how they rose up to where they are and how they’re staying put. How to identify emerging trends, integrate them into your business and capitalize will be the focus on this session. Panelists will also discuss how they’ve built businesses in the highly competitive and convoluted nutrition industry. Supplement, food and personal care CEOs on the panel will answer questions in a very interactive session with the attendees.

Moderator: Patrick Rea, Publisher, Nutrition Business Journal

Going Global: Taking Your Business Overseas & Getting it Right the First Time Thursday, October 14, 2010 from 2:00 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. in room 251

Think your nutrition products company is too small, too niche or even too successful in your home market to consider global expansion? Think again. The $270 billion global nutrition industry market can be ripe expansion ground for almost any wellness-related company, thanks to an aging global population; the continued spread of diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health ailments linked to poor nutritional habits; a growing consumer embrace of self-care and natural therapies to prevent illness; and a burgeoning middle class stretching from Brazil to Ghana to India that has more money and more inclination to spend on health.

Although opportunity abounds, breaking into a new international market can be extremely challenging from regulatory, operational and cultural standpoints.

By the time you leave this highly interactive session, you will:

•    Receive a breakdown of nutrition industry sales by country/region and product category (including dietary supplements, natural & organic foods and beverages, functional foods and beverages, and natural & organic personal care and household products).

•    Hear from industry experts with first-hand experience working in the most attractive emerging global markets—including China, Brazil and India—on what’s really required to successfully navigate the unique regulatory and cultural roads within these regions.

•    Have a better understanding of which regions make the most sense for your company’s international expansion plans and actionable advice on the first steps you should take to claim your piece of the rapidly expanding global nutrition market.
