Health, Joy and Justice for All

We want everyone at Natural Products Expo to feel safe and respected.  These are our next steps to help make that a reality:

1. We are partnering with Waymakers, who will have individuals onsite that will be able to support harassment victims and on call throughout the full duration of the show. They will also have a counter set up in the Hall B lobby with more information about the work that they do locally in CA available. Working side by side with our security team, they are trained and prepared for any form of harassment, overwhelmed attendees and various other reasons that crisis counseling is needed.

2. "See something, say something" campaign to include signage located around the building, printed badges, and mobile app. If you are experiencing or witnessing unsafe behaviors, a hazardous environment, or harassment and/or unprofessional behavior of any nature onsite, call or text this number to alert us: 213-222-3508.

3. Increased presence of security, not only in the exhibit hall, but also at networking gatherings and partner events accross campus.

4. Incorporating more alcohol-free beverages and mocktails at all events.

5. Creation of an official ETHOS statement that has been, and will continue to be, widely circulated to provide clarity to on-site expectations.

6. The following conduct statements incorporated into registration for both attendees and exhibitors to read, understand, and agree to

• I agree to treat all registered participants, staff, and vendors with mutual dignity and respect, regardless of race, gender, religion, political opinion, ability, sexual orientation, marital status, or age.
• I agree that harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Every participant of Natural Products Expo has a responsibility to foster a harassment-free environment.
• I agree to honor the values upon which Natural Products Expo is built on: equity, integrity and transparency.
• I understand that my actions have consequences; and if I act against the statements agreed to above, New Hope Network/Informa Markets has the right to remove me permanently from the event and refuse my entry to future events.
