What Happens at Nosh Live
Hear What’s Actually Working in Packaged Food
Founders, buyers, investors, and operators share how they’re navigating retail, distribution, margins, fundraising, consumer demand, and the decisions shaping food brands right now.
Talk Through the Challenges You’re Facing
The smaller format gives you more time to compare notes, ask questions, and hear how others have handled similar issues — whether that happens over lunch, at happy hour, during networking, or through Boot Camp for newer brands.
Spend More Time With the People You Came to Meet
Scheduled 1:1 meetings and a more intimate attendee mix make it easier to go beyond a quick introduction — whether you’re looking for retailer feedback, investor perspective, a manufacturing partner, or advice from another founder.
Put New Products and Ideas to the Test
Pitch Slam and sampling give brands a chance to share what they’re building, hear direct feedback, and start conversations around products, positioning, packaging, and what could resonate at retail.

From the Community
Khloé and I genuinely enjoyed being on stage at Nosh Live and having the opportunity to share more about Khloud, our vision for the brand, and where we're headed as the protein snack for the next generation... Most importantly, the experience truly moved the needle for Khloud. The visibility, credibility, and engagement we received from being part of Nosh Live were meaningful for the brand and for our broader growth story.

Nosh Live brings together a unique cross-section of the CPG world, where new founders pushing the category forward connect with leaders who have built and scaled hugely successful brands. The candid conversations and networking opportunities this event provides make it an incredibly valuable room to be in, wherever you are in your business.

Nosh is a VERY valuable gathering for emerging CPG brand learning and for important networking that can increase the odds of your brand becoming a big thing... it remains an important part of the natural, organic, wellness & better-for-you, premium brand ecosystem in the U.S. If you are looking for investors, customers, business partners, PR opportunities, or just industry peers to collaborate with and learn from, you should attend!
John Foraker
Co-Founder & CEO, Once Upon A Farm
I attended Nosh Live for the first time last year. I thought the panels were high-energy and incredibly insightful. I thought the event's size was perfect; it was intimate enough for me to find my place and build lasting networking relationships. For example, one panel discussed the power of LTO collaborations. At Nosh Live, I made a new CEO friend, and together we executed our most sales-driving LTO collaboration for Luke's in 2026.
