The way we think about food and nutrition is evolving fast. The Future of Positive Nutrition theatre will explore how science, data, consumer demand, and innovation are shaping the next generation of functional foods and dietary supplements, delivered by leading researchers, brands, and industry experts. Discover how emerging trends and smarter science are helping the industry create products that are healthier, more sustainable, and built for the consumers of tomorrow.

We will be unveiling the Future of Positive Nutrition programme in the coming weeks. While we put the finishing touches in place, explore the key themes so far and look out for reveals of speakers joining us to share ideas, spark debate, and drive progress across food and nutrition.
