Wo(men)’s Networking Lunch – Vitafoods Europe 2023

Wo(men)’s Networking Lunch – Everyone welcome!

Empowering women in nutraceuticals via two must-attend panel discussions and a delicious lunch!

This (sold out!) event celebrated the women making waves in the nutraceutical industry and challenging the status quo, from scientist to CEO.

We had inspirational female professionals in the spotlitght, who are spearheading change in the global nutraceutical industry and hosted two panel discussions featuring a selection of the industry’s leading voices as well as a series of dedicated networking activities.

The Wo(men)'s Networking Lunch was the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded women, learn from successful female leaders, and celebrate the contributions of women in the nutraceutical industry! Many thanks to Kerry for sponsoring this fantastic networking and learning session.

Panel discussion: Showcasing the female STEM pioneers

Championing the women who are leading the way in traditionally considered ‘male’ professions within the nutraceutical industry. In this session women in STEM, research, R&D roles will share their experiences, insights, and tips for paving their way and achieving success in typically male-centric fields. We will also discuss the biases that exist in scientific research and the challenges and opportunities of encouraging more women and girls into the nutraceutical space.
