From the Community
“Nosh Live is unlike any other conference I’ve attended. The intimate setting gives you the chance to truly connect with founders, brands, investors, and buyers... building both new and lasting relationships that help move your brand forward. The connections I made last year have already supported me with sourcing, collaborations, sales, and more.”
"The Nosh team, the panels and sessions, and the folks who attend are genuinely looking to learn about your business, find opportunities to work together and connect you to people who can move the needle for your business. The sampling opportunities give you a sense into what's coming down the pipe and then you get to meet the founders behind them! No brainer with tangible relationship building. Our new SKU came from Nosh Live 2024!"
"The best part about Nosh Live is the community. We’ve made lifelong industry friends — people we can call anytime for advice on anything from distribution and retail partners to manufacturing and SQF certification. The connections we’ve built here have helped shape how we run our business."
"I absolutely loved Nosh Live. It was hands down the best event I’ve attended for both learning and networking. The room was filled with incredible expertise. What makes this event stand out is how real and honest the conversations are with industry leaders and experts. There’s no smoke and mirrors or people putting on a show. It’s genuine, informative, and that's exactly what I appreciate most."
"It's an intimate environment where you can get stuff done and make those connections that will lead to the big break, the big opportunity as a young brand."
