Natural & Organic Products Europe 2013 Prepares For A Record Turnout This Weekend!
Now only days away, visitors to this year's Natural &
Organic Products Europe trade show at London's Olympia this weekend on Sunday
and Monday, 7-8 April, will enjoy an increased opportunity to expand their
natural and organic ranges, with 600 exhibiting companies from 35 different
countries now confirmed.
With visitor pre-registration figures now over 25% ahead of
this time last year, the two day trade event is poised to connect more than
8,000 health, food and beauty buyers - including representatives from major
supermarkets and multiples, specialist suppliers, international wholesalers and
distributors, pharmacies, leading contract caterers, salons and spas, plus
hundreds of independent retail outlets - with the latest new products from some
of the most innovative natural, organic, fair trade, free-from, and
eco-friendly brands in the world.
This year's show highlights include first time appearances
in the Natural Food Kitchen by celebrated French chef Raymond Blanc, TV
nutritionists Amanda Hamilton and Vicki Edgson, and gourmet vegetarian chef
Natasha Corrett (who co-wrote the popular 'Honestly Healthy' alkaline cookbook
with the aforementioned Edgson). The full programme, including session details
and timings, is available online at
www.naturalproducts.co.uk/the-natural-food-show/visiting/show-features/natural-food-kitchen.
The new Natural Products Live! seminar programme includes
sessions by Craig Sams (co-founder of Green & Black's), Patrick Holford, Dr
Marilyn Glenville, and Paul Moore (chair of the Organic Trade Board). Session details and timings are available
online at www.naturalproducts.co.uk/natural-products-live.
The Natural Beauty & Spa Theatre (sponsored by Kinetic
Natural Products Distributor) features a headline Keynote by Horst Rechelbacher
(founder of Aveda & Intelligent Nutrients), whilst Amarjit Sahota will be
presenting key findings from Organic Monitor's brand new report on the UK
market for natural and organic personal care products, which is said to have
grown by 5.5% to £202 million in 2012.
Session details and timings are available online at
www.naturalproducts.co.uk/natural-beauty-theatre.
Another show feature that has already generated a wealth of
visitor interest is the New Product Showcase, which currently includes over 270
entries - up 30% on last year's total.
With many launches timed specifically to coincide with the event,
attending buyers can enjoy an exclusive preview of new product developments -
across the VMS, natural beauty & spa, natural living & home, food,
organic food, drink, and special diet categories - before they reach their
competitor's shelves.
Always a popular destination, visitors to the showcase on
Sunday 7 April will also be able to vote for their favourite new products,
which will be announced later that night at the prestigious Natural &
Organic Awards (hosted by Natural Products magazine, in association with the
Soil Association).
For 2013, Canada, Argentina, the Philippines, and Malaysia
will be hosting new international pavilions (joining Italy, Organics Brazil,
Indonesia, Australia, and France, who'll be hosting beauty and food
pavilions). There's also a new Raw Food
Village; an Organic Beauty Parlour hosted by the Soil Association; and a
Retailer Networking Zone, where the Health Food Institute, National Association
of Health Stores and the CHC will be hosting drop-in sessions.
Returning pavilions in the Natural Food Show section of the
event, include the Soil Association Organic Marketplace, the Organic Trade
Board Pavilion, Vegan Society Pavilion, and South West Food & Drink
pavilion.
