Nosh Live is intentionally small -- and that is the whole point.
It is a two-day, editorially curated event where the buyers, investors, founders, and operators who matter to your business are in the same building -- and the format is built so you actually get time with them.
The packaged food industry runs on relationships. Nosh Live is where the right ones are within reach.
The packaged food industry is navigating a fundamental shift. Private label is competing at every tier. Fundraising criteria have changed -- investors want margin, velocity, and proof of repeat purchase, not just a compelling concept. Retail resets are harder to win, and the cost of doing business is permanently higher than it was three years ago.
The leaders handling this well are staying close to the people who help them see around it -- the buyers who know what is actually moving on shelf, the investors who understand the current climate, and the founders who have already worked through the problems many are facing now. Nosh Live is where those conversations happen.

Nosh Live brings together founders, operators, investors, retailers, and distributors at every stage of growth. The attendee list is large enough to draw the right people but intimate enough to go beyond introductions.
“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 1:1 conversations I’ve had over the last few years at Nosh Live have proven to be invaluable. We’ve been able to meet with retailers and gain immediate feedback on our products, packaging, and future vision. That feedback has helped refine our path towards greater success in our goals for reviews to get on shelf, and driving performance once we’re on shelf."
"We had so many amazing conversations…we strongly believe that this was the stepping stone for the Albertsons team to learn about Peppertux, what we stand for, and our product lineup - thereby leading to a few launches happening in the next quarter!"
"Nosh Live provides a much more intimate environment to network with other up and coming brands. You also have the option to get 1:1 time with buyers that a small brand likely would not have access to."
"Nosh Live is an impactful show where you are able to go deep with investors, retailers and industry influencers. I was able to meet with Whole Foods for the first time and an investor that we are still talking to today."
“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. The introductions and honest feedback opened doors, strengthened our retail strategy, and helped shape key decisions for our business.”
