Prior to this event is the first NBJ Summit Extension: Going Global: Taking Your Business Overseas & Getting it Right the First Time

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
