Summit 2025

Good to Great

17 - 19 June 2025

Christchurch, New Zealand

At Summit 2025 we’re not just celebrating what makes us good; we’re envisioning how we can elevate our industry to greatness.

We’ll explore innovative solutions, sustainable practices, and share our collective expertise. Let’s collaborate, inspire, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. This is our opportunity to shape the future of natural health products, ensuring that our impact is not only meaningful but extraordinary.

The natural health product sector is the rising star in New Zealand’s value-added economy. By enabling bold and innovative solutions, collaborative and trusted networks, and an awareness of our broader social responsibilities, Summit 2025 will propel our impact from Good to Great.
