With two concurrent Conferences and over 50 hours of content in total, plus a combined 150+ Exhibitors, there is a lot to see and do here – but there’s still the time, space and opportunity to engage with speakers and fellow visitors.

Fresh Features for 2026
For 2026, we’re evolving to reflect the realities of a rapidly changing health and wellness landscape.
Nutraceuticals
The lines between pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals are blurring – driven by shared manufacturing processes, regulatory considerations, and a growing demand for evidence-based, consumer-focused solutions.
In response, next year’s event will introduce dedicated content on nutraceuticals, opening the floor to professionals across both sectors to exchange knowledge, explore synergies, and shape the future together.
Ingredients and APIs
In addition, we are introducing a new theatre focused exclusively on ingredients and APIs, giving deeper insight into the foundational elements of both medicinal and nutraceutical development.
