Walmart has made it clear that it wants to work with trendy emerging brands – but how do they succeed there, and not just get worked over? At Nosh Live 2025, taking place Dec. 4-5 in Marina del Rey, Calif., BelliWelli co-founder Katie Wilson will be joined by Kristin Piper, vice president of Merchandising – Wellness, Walmart U.S., to share insights on developing products and marketing for the Walmart shopper.

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.

At Nosh Live 2025 (Dec. 4–5, Marina del Rey, Calif.), the leaders of Actual Veggies, Daily Crunch and Archer will pull back the curtain on the bold moves, big bets, and breakthrough strategies fueling their meteoric growth.

In an increasingly competitive food landscape, being first to emerging trends and reaching influential category managers can define a brand’s next phase of growth. That’s why Nosh Live 2025 is expanding its structured 1:1 networking program to include conversations with investors and veteran operators, adding to the curated retailer and buyer meetings that have made Nosh Live a standout.

Applications are now open for the Nosh Live 2025 Pitch Slam, a high-visibility opportunity for emerging packaged food brands to share their stories and build awareness in front of the industry’s most engaged audience. The competition will take place on December 4 during Nosh Live in Los Angeles, CA.

Nosh Live 2025 is returning to the Marriott Marina del Rey on Dec. 4-5 with an amazing new program of case studies, panels, investors, retailers, as well as group and individual networking opportunities.
