Informa Markets offered some statistics from its Vitafoods Europe 2021 event: 22,703 people attended in total, with an almost 50:50 split of those attending in person in Geneva (10,821), and online (11,882). This year’s Vitafoods Europe event was its first in its new hybrid format. 
 
Informa also announced dates for 2022’s event, with Vitafoods Europe returning to its original timings of May: in person in Geneva May 10-12, 2022, and online May 2-13, 2022. 
 
“We’ve been overwhelmed with the community’s response to Vitafoods Europe 2021, especially in the context of the pandemic and ongoing travel restrictions,” said Chris Lee, managing director. “Exhibitors have told us of the high quality meetings they had, connecting both in person and online, and visitors too enjoyed exploring new avenues, insights, and innovations. Seeing the industry come back together was incredible.”
 
“We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our visitors, exhibitors and speakers this year, as well as our on-site team who were instrumental in keeping everyone safe,” Lee added. “Vitafoods Europe returns in May 2022 at the Palexpo and online; we hope to see you all again then.”
