Always tracking the major trends in the F&B industry, Fi Conferences, together with GSK Nutrition, Beneo, Bio-Synergy, the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance (ESSNA), International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), Arsenal FC and Sport UK, launches its first Sports Nutrition conference; a timely two-day conference providing food and beverage manufacturers with the insights they need to reformulate and develop breakthrough sports nutrition products that utilise the latest ingredients and research to appeal to the everyday consumer.

Traditionally, sports nutrition products have been focused towards elite level athletes but the market is being transformed by the emergence of regular consumers who enjoy exercise and recognise the role that nutrition can play in helping them stay healthy and achieve their goals. The forecasted 20% growth for the sports nutrition market is being driven by two major groups; recreational users (who pursue sport as a hobby) and lifestyle users (who consume sports nutrition products as a building block towards healthier lifestyles), and is no longer exclusively consumed by athletes and bodybuilders.*

Innovations in Sports Nutrition will provide both established market players and those considering entering this booming industry the knowledge to increase or adapt their existing product line to tap into this sector or develop completely new product concepts to capitalise on the opportunity this generation-spanning trend towards healthy lifestyles provides.
