Last October, 22,000 nutraceutical professionals came together virtually and in person to network, collaborate and share knowledge from across the industry at Vitafoods Europe 2021.
Now, Vitafoods Europe is back once again – at its usual May timeslot – combining an online platform and the in-person event in Geneva, to reconnect and inspire the nutraceutical community in an ever-changing and increasingly health-conscious post-Covid world.
By bringing together in-person attractions with a virtual programme, Vitafoods Europe offers an event to network, forge long-term collaborations, share ideas, source innovative ingredients and new suppliers, discover new product development solutions, and hear from technical experts and industry thought-leaders.
This year, visitors will be able to access the Vitafoods Europe online platform a week before the live event (2-13 May) to immerse themselves in exclusive insight-led content and use the data-driven matchmaking tool to conduct virtual meetings. The online platform also enables them to plan their visit to Geneva and set up in-person meetings in advance to enhance their experience and maximise their time at the live event (10-12 May).
Vitafoods Europe 2022 highlights
The comprehensive event agenda explores key market trends, plus regulatory complexities, packaging and labelling challenges, and more – including an enhanced focus on pressing industry issues, such as mental wellbeing, women in nutraceuticals and sustainability. Highlights of this year’s event, across online and in person, include:
Extensive industry expert insights
With online content and in-person presentations taking place across four theatres – including the Main Stage powered by Vitafoods Insights, Life Stages, New Ingredients and Probiotics theatres – visitors can explore over 90 hours of content across the whole event.
Expect talks on everything from the regulatory landscape for probiotic ingredients, to innovative prenatal supplement ingredients for child mental health.
Tailored networking opportunities
This year’s SMART event format allows for global connectivity across both in-person and online platforms. Visitors can find and connect with potential partners and suppliers before and during the show. Facilitating efficient and effective networking, this connects visitors and exhibitors with shared goals, the right backgrounds and in-demand expertise.
Discover the latest innovations
Visitors looking for inspiration for their next product can tour the New Product and Ingredient Zones to discover the very latest ingredient technologies, formulations and products, as well as explore new research.

As the pace of innovation continues to gather speed, and with consumer interest in nutrition and health at an all-time high, there’s never been a better time to take an active role in the nutraceutical community.
