We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting two food and beverage industry meetups this fall. These gatherings will invite the community into our offices for conversation and light bites.

In the latest episode of Elevator Talk, we feature leaders from Habiza, Carolyn’s Krisps, Holistic Roasters and PUR Spices.

Who is worth knowing, or at least knowing about? We’re answering these questions – and many others – with our first-ever NOSH Notables List. The 50 people here (and shall we say icons as well – there are a couple of curveballs) are influential not just in the Instagram sense of the world, but in their ability to move companies, brands and products, not to mention shape industries.
