WASHINGTON — The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) will host its annual conference, CONVERGENCE ’24 on October 9 through October 11, at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. The gathering will commence with its Science in Session symposium and WellComms workshop on Wednesday, followed by the main conference targeting the entire C-suite of industry stakeholders beginning that evening and continuing on October 10 and 11.

Right before the opening of CONVERGENCE ‘24, on the 9th, two different tracks will offer attendees a choice of program based on their specialties. Science in Session, which is a day-long examination of nutrition research, will focus on cutting-edge scientific issues facing the industry. As in previous years, CRN will also recognize several college students for their nutrition-based research as part of the association’s CAPS scholarship program. WellComms, the association’s popular meeting for supplement industry marketing and communications professionals, will be held for the first time concurrently with the science offering.

“This year, we have reimagined the event to be more streamlined and even more content-rich while maximizing the collegial networking opportunities the conference is known for,” said CRN President and CEO Steve Mister. “CONVERGENCE ‘24 will explore emerging science, industry trends and technology, updates on the regulatory environment we are navigating, and include some of the most sought-after speakers to challenge our thinking and energize our businesses.”

CRN says it will continue to release updates throughout 2024 as more details about the annual event become available. CRN, founded in 1973, is a Washington D.C.-based trade association representing more than 200 dietary supplement and functional food manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, and companies
