This year at Nosh Live 2025, on December 4 and 5, we’re bringing Elevator Talk to the main stage, offering a unique opportunity for attending food brands to introduce themselves and their products to our full audience of investors, retailers, operators, and media. It’s not a competition. It’s not a pitch. It’s a moment to be seen and remembered.

We’re reserving time for two high-energy sessions where pre-selected founders will each share a short (90-second) introduction on stage. These segments will be recorded live and turned into Elevator Talk episodes, delivering valuable post-event exposure across Taste Radio, Nosh, and our digital channels.

A Familiar Format, Now on Stage

If you’ve seen Elevator Talk on Taste Radio or Nosh.com, you know the drill: fast, founder-led intros that get straight to the heart of what makes your brand stand out. Now, we’re bringing that format to the Nosh Live main stage.

There’s no slide deck and no competition. Just you, a mic, and a room full of buyers, investors, peers, and partners ready to meet you.

Why Participate?

• Elevated exposure in front of hundreds of CPG stakeholders
• Professionally produced content for post-event use via Nosh and Taste Radio
• A low-lift, high-impact way to boost awareness and engagement for your brand

How It Works

• Each selected founder will have 90 seconds to introduce their brand on stage
• A moderator may ask one quick follow-up (~30 seconds)
• Brands must be registered attendees of Nosh Live
• Elevator Talk will take place on the main stage on December 4, 2025

The final deadline to apply is November 21, but space is limited and filled on a rolling basis. Applications are subject to availability and reviewed for category diversity and event readiness.

Known for its highly curated programming and loyal community, Nosh Live brings together founders, investors, buyers, and service providers in a setting that sparks real partnerships and lasting momentum for food brands.

Attendees consistently describe Nosh Live as “unlike any other conference… the intimate setting gives you the chance to truly connect” and as “hands down the best event I’ve attended for both learning and networking.” It’s an event where sampling reveals what’s coming down the pipeline, conversations with industry leaders feel authentic, and connections with investors, retailers, and influencers translate directly into collaboration and growth.

The stage amplifies that impact. Past events have featured leaders such as John Foraker, Ayeshah Abueliga, Jennifer Garner, and Jing Gao, alongside other industry icons and pioneering founders. Each session delivers both fresh perspective and practical takeaways, making the content as essential as the connections.
