If you work in formulations and manufacturing ingredients, SupplySide Global is one show you don’t want to walk into unprepared. It’s big, it’s busy, and with more than 1,600 exhibitors spread across the floor, a day can slip away fast if you don’t have a plan. This guide keeps it simple. Here’s what the event is, who you’ll meet there, how to get ready before you go, and where to find us once you arrive.
What Is SupplySide Global 2026?
SupplySide Global Las Vegas is the largest health and nutrition trade show in North America. It brings ingredient suppliers together with the brands, manufacturers, and formulators who use them.
The idea behind it is simple. Buyers come to find new ingredients, suppliers come to meet new clients, and everyone comes to see where the industry is going. Finding the right ingredient can normally take months of emails and samples.

What Shafi Gluco Chem Is Bringing
You’ll find us at booth 2250. Shafi Gluco Chem makes plant-based, clean-label ingredients, and we’ll be showing our organic and non-GMO range.
Come by, and our team will walk you through our rice and tapioca-based ingredients, plus the rest of what we make. We can talk through specs, how our ingredients work in real products, and whether they fit what you’re building. Whether it’s a high-fiber drink, a cleaner bakery line, or a supplement, it’s a good chance to see the ingredients up close and ask real questions.
Who’s Attending, and What They Bring
SupplySide Global pulls in the whole nutrition supply chain, not just one type of company. That mix is what makes it useful, because you can meet everyone you need in one place. Here’s who shows up and what they bring to the table:
| Who Attends | What They Bring |
| Ingredient suppliers | New ingredients, raw materials, and samples |
| Food & beverage brands | Sourcing needs and new product ideas |
| Supplement companies | Formulas to refine and markets to explore |
| Contract manufacturers | Production capacity and know-how |
| Packaging & lab services | Testing, packaging, and support services |
| Shafi Gluco Chem (booth 2250) | Organic rice and tapioca-based ingredients |
With more than 1,600 exhibitors on the floor, big names and new suppliers sit side by side, so there’s plenty to discover whether you’re sourcing or just keeping an eye on trends.
SupplySide Global 2026 Preparation: What to Sort Out First
A show this big goes much better with a little planning. Here’s what to sort out before you travel.
Register Early
Sign up ahead of time rather than at the door. Early registration is simpler, and it gives you access to the schedule so you can plan your days.
Book Travel and Hotels Soon
Las Vegas hotels near Mandalay Bay fill up fast around the event. Book your flight and a room close to the venue early, so you’re not stuck commuting across the city each morning.
Plan Who You Want to See
With over 1,600 exhibitors, you can’t see everyone. Make a shortlist of the booths that matter to you before you arrive, and mark Shafi Gluco Chem at booth 2250 on it. Walking in without a plan is the quickest way to lose a morning.
Know the Schedule
The expo floor is open October 28–30, but the education sessions start earlier, on October 26. If the talks interest you, plan for those extra days.
How To Make the Most of SupplySide Global 2026
Once you’re there, a few simple habits go a long way:
- Wear comfortable shoes. The venue is huge, and you’ll walk a lot.
- Book meetings ahead. Set up your key conversations before the show so you’re not relying on luck. You can book a meeting with our team in advance.
- Talk to people. With over 20,000 attendees, the hallways and coffee lines are where meaningful connections occur.
- Take notes. Jot down who you met and what stood out.
The real value of SupplySide Global is what you leave with: new ingredients to consider, suppliers worth a follow-up, and a clearer sense of where the industry is heading. A little preparation is what turns a busy few days into a genuinely useful trip.
