Natural Product Expo East

During the months outlined above, our conference staff spends time researching and seeking out proposals from industry thought leaders. At the end of our proposal window for each event, we summon our editorial power and industry expertise to finalize our various speaking opportunities.

This selection process is based on themes and narratives chosen for each event that reflect year-long content goals supporting our overall mission. In our review of proposals, we aim to include new industry voices each year.

We receive a large volume of potential speaker proposals each year. Due to this volume of information, we have implemented the four steps outlined below to ensure transparency and attention is paid to every submission.

1. A speaker or organization may submit any number of proposals during the proposal acceptance timeline listed above. Choosing from a large number of submitted proposals is difficult with so many quality submissions. We evaluate each to accurately reflect the educational objectives while providing a balance of topics, issues, speaker background and expertise, and audience expectations. We strive to provide a rejection or acceptance for every proposal submitted through our portal.

1. Should suitable speaking engagements arise, we will contact you for more information. Should your proposal be rejected for the event that you’ve submitted to participate in, we will keep your proposal in a database for further review.

1. While inclusion in our database does not guarantee speaking opportunities, digital content or ongoing representation, it does broaden your exposure within our conference selection committee. Should our relationship continue to grow, we will contact you directly to discuss future partnership.

1. Sponsorship does not guarantee involvement in our educational programming; however, does not exclude your organization from involvement, should the opportunity arise and your expertise match our audience needs.

Due to volume, any proposals sent to individual emails outside of the proposal process may not be answered.
