SupplySide East was a great show by all accounts. Thank you!

Both exhibitors and attendees told me that SupplySide East was the best yet, and judging by the buzz on the floor, they were right. We had many new attendees this year thanks to some creative marketing, including more people from the cosmetic and food industries than ever before. Our ""Cosmeceutical Day" workshop was sold out and included teams from the world's top cosmetic and personal care companies. The session with FDA's Dr. Bill Frankos was packed and energetic. And the delegation from India was thrilled with their reception and contacts. I want to personally thank everyone who participated for making this show a success. The hard work that goes into organizing such an event is well worth it when we see how much was accomplished. If you are a supplier and want to exhibit at SupplySide East 2009, let us know asap. The show floor for next year's event is already more than 70% sold.

Visit the delegation from India at SupplySide East, booth #1119

The Indian Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council (PHARMEXCIL) is bringing a delegation of companies to SupplySide East next week. These include unique ingredient suppliers, contract manufacturers and providers of finished products. Having been to India twice in the last 2 months, I know firsthand that there are many exciting companies and products that are yet to enter the U.S. market. The companies travelling to SupplySide East are on the leading edge of what is sure to be a growing wave of Indian companies coming to the states. Please join me in welcoming this group. And, do stop by their exhibit (#1119) to learn more about them. You just might find your next big thing. I'll see you there!
