New Hope Sessions (NHS) are created by the in-house Program Advisory Team. These sessions are primarily developed from survey data to address the specific interests of attendees. In addition, New Hope Natural Media's editorial staff contributes content from its publications and breaking news stories. We are always looking for fresh, timely and relevant session ideas.

Content should be:

• relevant to businesses in the natural products industry (the primary audience is retail attendees).
• new or newsworthy.
• backed by research and hands-on experience.
• focused on educating attendees, not linked to a specific product or company.

Within the parameters of the NHS program, speakers are ineligible if they receive more than 30% interest or income from an exhibiting company, and/or publicly represent a manufacturer of natural products (unless we invite them to do so within a panel or debate format).

We accept new speaking submissions on an ongoing basis, however, all proposals received after the deadline below will be considered for future shows. Email the conference manager for more information.  Proposal Deadline for Natural MarketPlace 2010: January 31, 2010.

Thanks for your interest in education.
Anneli Spielman, Conference Manager
