PHOENIXVIRGO unveiled the first event in a new program called the Natural Products INSIDER Digital Summit. A new experience in education, the Natural Products INSIDER Digital Summit platform is a high-level education video-based event for the supplement industry. The unique platform features two- to three-hour immersive television-viewing-like videos that provide both broad and deep information on the industrys most desired topics.

"The Natural Products INSIDER Digital Summit offers a one stop shop for our audience in the dietary supplement and nutrition category to understand the questions, concerns, strategies and tactics behind key topics," said John Siefert, CEO at VIRGO. "An immersive video-based environment, featuring some of the biggest legal and category experts, the Digital Summit will deliver a wealth of actionable content that will ensure you are making the right decisions for the future of your brands and products."

The first Digital Summit, exclusively sponsored by Natural Alternatives International (NAI), is the 2013 Natural Products INSIDER Digital Summit on Contract Manufacturing and GMP Compliance. This summit will provide key information to help brand manufacturers select the highest quality manufacturing partners and leverage their expertise to develop products in full compliance with the law. Legal experts, formulation specialists and manufacturing professionals explore critical issues to ensure full compliance with federal good manufacturing practices (GMPs) throughout the supply chain.

"As many organizations look to tap the expertise and scale of a contract manufacturing organization, it is imperative that they peel back the layers of operation to understand the true essence of what they get for their investment, whilst also ensuring the levels of compliance necessary to be in line with federal regulations like GMPs," Siefert added.

Participants in this event will get a behind-the-scenes look at GMP compliance from a field auditor, learn about their own GMP liability and how to effectively develop a contract that covers all the bases, and gain new understanding of how the product development process canand shouldinfluence the choice of manufacturing partner.

Agenda items include:

  • GMP Compliance: Auditor Mollie Kober shares the top 10 scariest violations of 2012, and five critical items to look at ASAP

  • Contract Considerations: Attorney Justin Prochnow advises on what to put in writing when you put a contract together
