Host of top speakers lined up for NOPEX seminar sessions

Natural & Organic Products Expo, which takes place this coming Sunday and Monday (14-15 April) at ExCel, London, has unveiled an impressive speaker line-up for this year’s packed seminar and talks programme. Leading figures from the health and nutrition, organic and sustainable food, natural beauty and eco living sectors will take to the show’s two stages over the two days, covering a range of hotly debated topics.

There is a strong health food trade focus this year, and we’re highlighting some of the sessions most likely to appeal to independent health food retailers (see programme below).

We look forward to welcoming lots of you on the Health Stores UK stand (G70, just along the aisle from the Clipper Cafe).
