Welcome Message

The International Society for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods (ISNFF) is pleased to welcome you to the 2025 Annual Conference & Exhibition on Functional Foods, Nutraceuticals, Natural Health Products and Dietary Supplements, to be held on September 14–17, 2025 (with an optional extension from September 18–20, 2025) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

As we continue to advance scientific dialogue and innovation in our field, we are thrilled to host this year’s conference in the vibrant and culturally rich city of Ho Chi Minh. The 2025 meeting promises to be another exceptional gathering of scientists, industry professionals, academics, and students from across the globe who are committed to shaping the future of health through functional foods and nutraceuticals.

ISNFF Conferences and Exhibitions continue to highlight cutting-edge research and foster collaboration through engaging keynote lectures, symposia, and poster sessions. As part of our commitment to supporting emerging scholars, we are proud to once again host the Student Presentation Competition, aimed at recognizing outstanding student research in functional foods, nutraceuticals, and natural health products. Interested students should indicate their wish to participate during abstract submission. From the submitted abstracts, 20 students will be selected for a 3-minute flash presentation and Q&A. Winners will be announced during the conference and will receive a plaque and monetary award.

We are also honored to present the Fereidoon Shahidi Fellowship Award, which recognizes an outstanding graduate student for their research excellence and contributions. Additionally, the Young Scientist Award will be presented to a promising early-career researcher (under the age of 40), both of whom will deliver special presentations at the conference.

To further celebrate excellence, the Society will also present Industry/Institution Merit Awards, Individual Merit Awards, and the prestigious ISNFF Fellow Award for members with over 10 years of distinguished service and scientific contribution to the field.
