IBC Natural Products 2002 moves to Germany

After the resounding success of Natural Products 2001 in last year the organisers IBC Global Conferences Ltd in consultation with Phytopharm Consulting and Denzil Phillips International have decided to hold their next meeting in Germany on March 18th-20th with Munich being the preferred location.

Dr Joerg Gruenwald commenting on the decision indicated that by moving to Germany should result in cost savings while the location right in the heart of Germany's medicinal plant growing region will encourage many medium sized European herbal and cosmetic companies to attend the meeting.

Natural Products 2002 will be a two day affair with an additional one day intensive training session on the third day. The first day hosted by Joerg Gruenwald will concentrate on nutraceuticals and include key speakers from Numico, Smith Kline Beecham and Martin Bauer.

During the second day, which will be hosted by Denzil Phillips, will be dedicated solely to cosmeceuticals. Here a number of companies that sent speakers last year will be presenting such as R.P.Scherer, Bioskin and Croda Chemicals as well as some important new speakers from Aveda, Ferrosan, Indena and Merck. The programme which is presently being completed will be sent to some 10,000 potential delegates and will also be available on the IBC web site http://www.informapharma.com.
