Connection and collaboration are key to Expo West success

Welcome to the 42nd occurrence of Natural Products Expo West—an event that marks not only a vital industry gathering, but a time of deep listening to our community and a period of transformation. As we welcome you all and begin another Expo week together, we are excited to unveil new initiatives to further elevate your experience and ensure streamlined connections and productivity. 

This year, we are proud to introduce new Expo West buyer-only hours and a Mindful Beverage pavilion to help you take advantage of the burgeoning adult non-alcoholic beverage movement. Other pavilions will see strong representation from brands associated with partner organizations such as Naturally Network, Startup CPG and (included), while the Fresh Ideas Organic Marketplace will once again be a go-to for both new and iconic organic brands.

In 2024, we are also launching a new event called Newtopia Now to complement Expo West with a more intimate environment designed to help buyers deepen their supplier connections and discover their next best-selling products. This event will take place in Denver, Colorado, from August 25-28.

With Beacon Discovery to help navigate the bustling Expo floor, you’ll discover thousands of new brands and products that will offer a wealth of opportunities for business efficiencies and growth. And this year’s conference programming alongside our beloved networking and partner events promise to inspire and educate, offering insights into emerging trends and the future of the natural products industry. 

As we navigate these dynamic times together, let us embrace the spirit of connection and collaboration that defines our community. Thank you for being a part of this year’s event. We are honored to embark on a journey of discovery, innovation, transformation and shared successes with this incredible community.

With respect and appreciation,
Lacey Gautier
