Standards
The New Hope Natural Media Standards Program is designed to maintain consistency with federal and international regulations and is presented in a spirit of cooperation with current industry efforts to ensure quality and integrity of natural products.
Our goal is to increase the accuracy of information provided to the public and assist them in making educated decisions. The Standards Program is also intended to enhance public health and safety, support industry self-regulation and foster the responsible growth of the Food and Supplement Ingredient industry.
Exhibitors are contractually bound to abide by the Standards policy and New Hope Natural Media reserves the right to determine the eligibility of any company or product for inclusion in its events and publications.
Organic Standards. If you are an exhibitor in the Organic Pavilion or Fresh Ideas Organic Marketplace, all of your exhibited products must meet USDA National Organic Program requirements for products that are 100%, 95%, or 70% organic ("made with organic ingredients"). All products must be certified by a USDA-accredited certifier. Organic pavilion exhibitors must complete an organic standards contract and submit proof of certification.

Show Policies
With so many people in one building, it is our goal to ensure the safety of and enjoyment for all attendees and exhibitors at the show. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to the show policies.
Booth Moves/Changes
One you are contracted, your company is eligible to submit an online Booth Move/Change Request, if you would prefer another booth location. Requests are prioritized according to our priority points system, then by the date in which they are received. Should a booth become available, you will be contacted by Expo Sales. Completing a Booth Move/Change Request does not absolve an exhibitor from liability of the original contract should we be unable to accommodate this request. Booth Move/Changes begin immediately following SupplyExpo 2009.
Click here for the Booth Move/Change Form.
Priority Points
Exhibiting at SupplyExpo will help your company earn Priority Points that determine the order in which booth and hotel reservations are made for the Natural Products Expos, SupplyExpo and Natural Marketplace.
Cancellations
Your booth is contracted once your Exhibit Space Contract or proxy form is signed and exhibit space is allocated. Cancellations must be made in writing and are subject to the following provisions:
- Cancellations and booth downsizes will receive one (1) penalty point.
- Cancellations and booth downsizes received by November 13, 2009 are subject to a 40% penalty on the full price of the booth
- No refunds will be issued after November 13, 2009 and the Exhibitor will be liable for any unpaid booth balance.
If there is no activity in contracted exhibit space by 6:00 pm, March 11, 2009, and the exhibitor has not contacted the Expo Show Management Office at the Anaheim Convention Center, we reserve the right to reassign that exhibitor’s booth(s).
Please note cancellation and downsizing fees apply as soon as a contract or proxy form is signed. Downsizing a booth space is considered a cancellation and will be assessed a penalty fee and a penalty point.
