December 6-8, 2026 • Los Angeles, CA
You’ve earned the shelf. Now build the next stage.
Holding velocity as private label crowds in. Protecting margin in a cost environment that isn't going back to normal. Finding growth in a retail landscape that's tougher to win than it was two years ago.
Nosh Live L.A. is where mid and late stage operators work through what comes next — together.
30 years of industry relationships
Peer perspective for the next stage of growth
You’ve made it through the early brand-building stages. Now the questions are different: where to expand, which channels are worth pursuing, how to protect margin, and what buyers need to see before opening more doors.
The brands holding share are proving clear differentiation, strong velocity, and repeat purchase. Investors are looking for many of the same signals: margin, sustained demand, and proof that the model works at scale.
Nosh Live creates space for candid, peer-level conversations with founders, operators, buyers, and investors working through those same decisions.
Learn from leaders who've faced the same challenges
Sessions and speakers
Sessions cover the decisions growing brands are actively navigating — retail expansion, new channel entry, fundraising, M&A, acquirer expectations, margin protection, and distribution growth — delivered by founders and executives who've operated through the same inflection points you're facing.

Focused time with the people you came to meet
1:1 Meetings
The 1:1 meetings program creates focused conversations with retailers, investors, strategic partners, and experienced operators at BevNET Live.
Use that time to explore new channels, pressure-test expansion plans, discuss capital or strategic options, and advance the relationships most relevant to what comes next.
Meetings aren’t guaranteed, and calendars fill quickly. Register early to be considered sooner.
New Beverage Showdown
A real-time read on where the market is heading.
As emerging brands present, a panel of retail buyers, investors, and brand executives delivers direct feedback on what's working, what's not, and what they're looking for in the brands they buy, back, or build.
It’s an unfiltered market read on what buyers notice, what investors question, and which products and ideas are gaining momentum.

What Past Attendees Say
BevNET Live has positively impacted GHOST in a number of ways. And I'd encourage a lot of founders and other people in the industry to make sure that they get to the next one.
We met the Whole Foods buyer before we had any chain success. That led to Whole Foods placement across California and later expansion of our footprint and SKUs.
