After 14 years in Secaucus, New Jersey; SupplySide MarketPlace, formerly SupplySide East, moves to a larger exhibit hall space at the Jacobs Javits Center in New York City.

The annual ingredient event held this year on May 8-10, 2012, is home to over 350 exhibitors and thousands of attendees from all over the world.

The enhanced SupplySide MarketPlace is intended to increase value for the attendee. The entire event is more interactive with more true experts in the nutrition and cosemceutical industries.

Kristin Ringdahl, SupplySide Managing Director told CosmeticsDesign.com USA “The name change from SupplySide East to SupplySide MarketPlace supports a true market place where ideas, innovation and commerce are exchanged which reflects what we are creating at the Javits Center in New York City."

"This is more than just an East Coast show, SupplySide MarketPlace is a hub where the natural and healthy consumer packaged goods world comes together to fuel exploration, discovery, innovation and market strategy.”

There is projected to be a 25 percent increase in the number of participants including exhibitors, attendees, workshops, and suppliers. With a new name, new location, and new educational program, this show is the global destination for decision-makers in the food, beverage, supplement, and personal care industries, and could be of particular relevance to the cosmetics world.

According to Ringdahl, “SupplySide MarketPlace is destined to become a premium cosmetic event not only because it takes place in the epicenter of the industry but because it offers attendees a broad spectrum of information.”

The SupplySide MarketPlace show provides information on the entire product development process. The Marketplace focuses on defining, researching and sourcing ingredients; bringing consumer products to market and developing strategies for the supply chain.

This event features information on the US and international governing bodies. Moreover the event helps develop the next-generation of food, beverage, supplement or personal care products to drive revenue, market share and consumer loyalty.
