Insider Tips

SupplySide West Tips for First-Timers

The expo floor is only two days. Plan your route in advance and prioritize your most important meetings. Use the SupplySide West app to schedule appointments with exhibitors.
Attend the education sessions — they are some of the best in the supplement and functional food industries. Regulatory, science, and market trend sessions are especially valuable.
Wear comfortable shoes. The Mandalay Bay Convention Center is large and the walk from the hotel to the expo floor adds distance.
Bring sample requests and product briefs. If you are sourcing ingredients or looking for a contract manufacturer, having your specifications ready speeds up conversations dramatically.
