In 2009, the first edition of NutrEvent took place in Lille. This year, the city of Nantes hosted the 8th edition of the event dedicated to innovation in the nutrition and health sectors on October 4th and 5th.
To satisfy a wider international audience, NutrEvent was organised in a hybrid format. The event online platform allowed participants who could not travel to Nantes to review conferences, pitch sessions and also one-on-one meetings.
An edition that reflects the sector: dynamic!
NutrEvent was a success with more than 550 participants from over than 25 countries. 60 speakers took the floor to lead the conference programme and discuss the challenges of the sector. The exhibition area welcomed more than 50 exhibitors and 15 project leaders competed in the pitches sessions. The choice of combining one-on-one meetings, conferences, presentation sessions and an exhibition in one place continues to prove its worth. Take part in NutrEvent allows participants to meet and create collaborations with key players in the sector. Participants have lively discussions with speakers from a variety of perspectives and opinions.
“As a Newcomer to NutrEvent I was amazed by the lively discussions bringing highly diverse aspects and views on the table. It is a great learning experience and an excellent opportunity to create new bonds and partnerships. The conference delegates and presenters were open, friendly and energizing.” Dr Elke Duwening, Senior Expert Global Regulatory Biotechnology, Nutrition & Health – BASF
The partnering dimension of the event has allowed 2,000 connections to be made thanks to its online platform, not to mention the many informal networking opportunities.
