- Brand
- Science and Innovation
- Philanthropy
- Policy
- Industry Influencer
“Being a veteran in the industry, I have been honored to work alongside colleagues and friends who are true visionaries. We all know one of these people–individuals who challenge the status quo and push boundaries every day in our industry,” said Loren Brown, Partner at What’s Up with Supps. “The Industry Icon Awards were created to celebrate these leaders, whose passion and dedication are not only driving growth and innovation but also inspire the next generation of industry professionals. These awards are more than just acknowledging success; they are about recognizing those who have a deep commitment to improving lives through science, innovation, and education.”
Awards will be announced during the official SupplySide West afterparty, hosted by What's Up with Supps at the House of Blues, Las Vegas, on October 31. The theme for this year's networking afterparty is "celebrity icons" and proceeds from the event will benefit Vitamin Angels.
