NEXGEN 2026

APPLY TO BE A SPEAKER

The NEXGEN Seminar is Systemic Formulas’ premier educational event, designed to bring our community and learning back to life. This gathering offers a unique opportunity for practitioners in holistic and functional wellness to grow their expertise, expand their professional network, and connect with like-minded colleagues.

Our goal is to go beyond the traditional seminar experience. NEXGEN is not just about supplements—it’s about partnership, collaboration, and mutual success. We aim to demonstrate our commitment to practitioners by providing cutting-edge education, meaningful interactions, and practical tools to advance their clinical practice.

Through engaging presentations, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, attendees will leave inspired, equipped, and supported—confident in their ability to deliver better outcomes for their clients while being part of a community that truly values and appreciates their expertise.
