NEW YORK — SN and New Hope Natural Media, both owned by Penton Media, are planning to launch the Healthy Foods International Exposition and Conference next year in Dallas. The event, scheduled for June 18-19, will provide a business platform for the exchange of information about “healthier-for-you” foods and will seek to bring together food retailing executives, buyers and managers with manufacturers, suppliers and distributors in this rapidly growing product segment. This marks the first major partnership between SN and New Hope, a leading information provider in the natural, organic and healthy products area. “With sales of healthier products rising dramatically, and consumer attitudes indicating a desire for healthier food choices, our organizations are uniquely positioned to provide a new marketplace specifically designed for interchange between the supermarket and healthy-product industries,” said Dan Bagan, senior vice president of the Food Retail Group for Penton Media. Conference sessions will center on exclusive research outlining consumer attitudes and buying triggers related to healthy foods and products, presented by the editors of Nutrition Business Journal. For more information, please contact Adam Andersen, National Sales Manager, at 1-(303) 998-9091 or e-mail aandersen@newhope.com.
