On May 20-21, 2011 NOW hosted our 13th annual Retailer Conference at the beautiful Westin Hotel in Itasca, Illinois. Our annual conference is a weekend of education and inspiration for our dedicated retailer customers, and includes two days of educational seminars, an open exhibit hall, and a tour of our award-winning manufacturing and distribution facility in Bloomingdale, Illinois. This conference is just one of the many ways NOW supports and connects with our core customer base, the independent health food retailer.

This year, retailers were treated to a full day of presentations on Friday that covered the latest NOW products and quality initiatives, as well as some sneak peeks at new products and packaging on the horizon. The day ended with a passionate hour-long presentation by Jonathon Emord, a constitutional law attorney and health freedom advocate who’s defeated the FDA in court a record eight times, on the need to defend the health freedoms of Americans and our industry. On Saturday our retailer guests were given an extensive tour of our Bloomingdale headquarters, and were able to browse a wide selection of booths in our exhibit hall.

On behalf of everyone at NOW we’d like to thank those that attended our 13th Annual Retailer Conference. We look forward to seeing many of you at future conferences.
