The International Society for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods (ISNFF) is pleased to welcome you to the 15th International Conference and Exhibition on Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods, scheduled for December 10-13, 2023 at Sheraton Princess Kaiulana Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.
We have had a challenging few years due to the COVID-19 pandemic but resumed our in-person conference and exhibition last year in Istanbul, Turkey, with outstanding presentations and excellent participation from around the globe.
At ISNFF Conferences and Exhibitions, there are annual awards for the Students’ Presentation Competition. The award is designed to encourage and highlight the relevant research carried out by students in different aspects of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and natural health products. The students who wish to participate in the competition must mention this on the abstract; from these, we select 20 based on their abstracts for 3 min flash presentation and a Q&A session. The students in this session will be informed of this when they pick up their conference material. On the basis of their delivery, a panel of judges will select a minimum of to receive the award that includes a plaque and a cheque. In addition, the Society has established the Fereidoon Shahidi Fellowship Award for an outstanding graduate student among the applicants/nominations. This year, the ISNFF is also having the Young Scientist Award, for those below the age of 40 and in their initial appointment and that includes a plaque and a cheque. Both the Fereidoon Shahidi and Young Scientist Award recipients will present their work during the conference. For relevant information on these awards please view the ISNFF website (www.isnff.org).
Furthermore, there are Industry/Institution Merit Awards and Individual Merit Awards to recognize respective contributions to research and development and/or service to ISNFF. The society also has Fellow Award for 10+ years of members of the ISNFF for their exceptional R&D work and service to the ISNFF.
The exhibition at ISNFF complements its scientific meeting programs with products, services, and publications in the field of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and natural health products. For information about booth reservations, please complete the required form and contact ISNFF at isnffsecretary@gmail.com.
The sponsorship of the conference is open to interested parties at Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels as well as Luncheon sponsorship that includes an opportunity for the sponsor(s) to make a presentation(s) for their products and services. For information about these opportunities and further information, please contact ISNFF at isnffsecretary@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing you in Honolulu and trust that we can once again meet our friends and could make new ones.
