Welcome Friends We are pleased to welcome you to SupplySide East 2002. This fourth annual event continues to grow, and we are grateful for your support and participation. Please let us know how we can make your SupplySide experience more enjoyable and successful. As always, we are at your service. Our industry, our economy and our world have changed dramatically since we gathered at SupplySide East one year ago. The most shocking event of this turbulent past year happened less than 10 miles from here. All of us have been affected. As members of the global business community, we have important responsibilities. I believe that free enterprise and the opportunities it provides are among the keys to a peaceful and prosperous world. By building strong businesses, we are also building strong individuals, families, communities and nations. Do not underestimate the importance of your role as a business leader. As members of the health and nutrition industry, we have a critical role to play in this world as well. We can prevent illness and suffering and empower people to lead longer, healthier lives. Our actions related to research, manufacturing, quality, marketing, distribution and regulation affect people all over the world. This is a responsibility that we must not take lightly. We have developed SupplySide East with these lofty goals in mind. Opportunities abound throughout the sold-out exhibit hall, substantive educational program and exceptional networking events. We encourage you to take advantage of all that SupplySide has to offer. Special thanks go to the exhibitors and sponsors who make SupplySide possible. In particular, please acknowledge Unigen Pharmaceuticals and Aloecorp, sponsors of our keynote address by former NYPD commissioner Bernard Kerik; Degussa BioActives, sponsor of the Educational Program; Capsugel co-sponsor of the International Welcome Reception; and Roche Vitamins co-sponsor of the Opening Reception. Their exceptional commitment allows us to provide the extras that make SupplySide unique. All of us at Virgo Publishing consider it an honor and a privilege to work with you. We take great pride in offering the industry's most targeted trade publications and marketing services. From advertising to publicity, from mailing lists to internet services, we have the means to help you succeed. Don't hesitate to call on us whenever we can be of assistance. Thank you for being a part of SupplySide and welcome to the show! With Warmest Regards, Jon Benninger
