About this event.

Natural Products Expo West is an annual trade event for the natural, organic, and healthy products industry, produced by Informa Markets' New Hope Network. The 2026 edition runs March 3-6 at the Anaheim Convention Center and surrounding venues, marking the show's 45th year. Programming spans food and beverage, supplements, natural beauty and personal care, home and lifestyle products, and ingredients.

The show is attended by buyers from natural and conventional retailers including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, Kroger, Walmart, and a long tail of independent natural retailers represented through the Independent Natural Food Retailers Association. Programming combines a multi-day exhibit hall with the NEXTY Awards, the State of Natural & Organic industry briefing, education tracks on retail trends, regulation, ingredients, and brand-building, and dedicated zones for emerging brands.

Coverage of past editions has been published by Nutritional Outlook, WholeFoods Magazine, Nutraceuticals World, Progressive Grocer, and the organizer's own New Hope Network.
