Xtendevent is your ‘Always On’ destination to attend industry-focused events, and ongoing conferences, network with your peers, meet exhibitors, and source new products, new ingredients, retail shelf-ready products, and the latest processing, packaging, and logistics solutions.

Speakers can be anywhere and are live-streamed from your internet-connected computer. We invite speaker panels and moderated panels of up to seven speakers on any session.
