The event will feature up to 50 organic-certified ingredient suppliers and follows the company's previous summit, which drew more than 600 industry professionals.
-- Ingredients Online, a B2B e-commerce marketplace for nutritional raw materials, today announced the launch of IO Summit Organica, a sourcing summit focused on organic and clean-label ingredients. The event will take place in Chicago on July 12, 2026, and is intended to connect qualified buyers with organic-certified ingredient suppliers in a smaller, curated event format.
The event will be limited to 50 organic-certified exhibitors and will be open to qualified buyers for a registration fee of $50. The summit follows Ingredients Online’s previous IO Summit: Buyers Market event, which drew more than 600 industry professionals from the food and beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetics, animal nutrition, and pharmaceutical sectors.
The launch reflects changing priorities among B2B sourcing professionals evaluating event participation and travel budgets. Ingredients Online stated that smaller brands sourcing organic ingredients are increasingly seeking more focused opportunities to connect with suppliers while navigating certification, traceability, and supply chain requirements.
"Organic ingredient sourcing requires a level of trust and verification that a crowded trade show floor doesn't easily provide," said Sherry Wang, Founder and CEO of Ingredients Online. "We built Organica to give buyers focused access to suppliers who have already been vetted, in a format that respects their time and their budget. The 50-exhibitor cap is intentional — we want every conversation in the room to matter."
What Distinguishes Organica
• AI-powered matchmaking pairs buyers with relevant exhibitors based on sourcing priorities, before the event begins
• All exhibiting suppliers are pre-vetted for organic certification, clean-label credentials, or both
• Curated, intentionally limited format eliminates the booth-crawling inefficiency of larger shows
• Buyers and exhibitors continue the relationship after the event through the Ingredients Online marketplace platform
The event will be held at Row 24, located at 2411 S Michigan Avenue in Chicago, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 12, 2026. Ingredients Online stated that the timing aligns with a week of increased food and beverage industry activity in Chicago.
Qualified buyer registration is open at info.ingredientsonline.com/io-summit-organica. Companies interested in exhibiting may apply directly. Speaker applications remain open for industry professionals working in organic sourcing, supply chain transparency, and clean-label product development.
