Spark Celebration Culminating Event
The Organic and Regenerative theme is where we celebrate the organic movement and products as well as other progressive innovation rooted in efforts to improve our agricultural systems. More and more brands are involving themselves with production and putting effort against improved environmental practices in their supply systems. Some are making discrete one-off commitments, while others are looking at a whole-systems approach like devout brands concerned with strengthening organic or brands flipping the discussion from sustainable agriculture to regenerative.
Organic & Regenerative Agriculture
The Modern Health theme is a place to celebrate the unique ability of our industry to meet the specific health needs of consumers today with functional food, supplements, good nutrition and lifestyle products. Life is busy and chaotic, and consumers are feeling the pressure to fulfill many responsibilities and endeavors. They’re seeking solutions to what ails them and to a proactive life of vitality in a mix of modern solutions and ancient, holistic approaches to health. Smart brands have noticed consumers are no longer on board with the apathetic status quo and are peeling back the layers of awareness, examining what is in the products they buy and, in the process, seeking whole nutrient dense foods, supplements, trusted health practices and holistic ways of living.
