The inaugural SciComms Connect symposium – Bridging Science and Marketing to Advance Women’s Vitality – convenes leaders in research, product development, and communications to explore how science can be responsibly translated into dietary supplements and functional foods designed for women.
This year’s focus spans active lifestyle nutrition and innovations supporting women through life stages such as menopause, pregnancy, and beyond. Sessions will examine evolving science, evidence standards, and communicating credible, consumer-focused solutions to market.
Through focused panels and case studies, attendees will gain practical strategies for communicating complex women’s health science credibly, countering misinformation, and building lasting consumer trust. For professionals committed to raising the bar in women’s health innovation, SciComms Connect is the essential forum to help shape what comes next.
