New priorities. New conversations. New opportunities.
Different market. Different priorities. A new mix of people, perspectives, and opportunities.
What mattered last time has changed
Return with a sharper view of what comes next.
The packaged food business is operating under different conditions than it was a year ago. Capital has shifted, retail decisions are tighter, consumer demand is moving, and the priorities that mattered at your last Nosh Live may not be the ones that matter now.
Nosh Live brings a new mix of buyers, investors, founders, and operators into those conversations, with fresh perspective on what has changed and where the next opportunities are taking shape.
Stay close to the shifts shaping what comes next.
The questions facing packaged food founders have changed. Capital is more disciplined, retail standards are tighter, and consumer priorities continue to shift across categories. The strategies that worked a year or two ago may not be the ones that carry the business forward now.
Nosh Live brings those conversations together across capital, retail, consumer demand, and category strategy, helping you understand what has changed and where packaged food is heading next.

What Past Attendees Say
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.
Several of our conversations continued well after the event. We had follow-up meetings with retailers and built relationships with industry experts who have continued to be valuable sounding boards.
