Academic Researchers receive the discounted rate of $1295.00.
Also Being Expanded is the Session on: U.S. Guidelines, Red Flags and Advertising Trends.
A 2004 FTC staff report showed that the number of advertisements making obviously false weight-loss claims fell to just 15 percent in 2004, but the problem still remains. This expanded session will help companies understand the guidelines, red flags and advertising trends for weight-loss products. Companies seeking ways to navigate the difficult regulatory waters cannot afford to miss this presentation. The session will be presented in a lively, roundtable format with a panel of industry, science, regulatory and legal experts.
