Accelerating Sustainable Growth at Scale
NOSH Live is a show designed to grow the better-for-you food industry by supporting the needs of the food brands driving it forward. The event brings community all-stars to the stage to provide actionable insights that help food businesses grow responsibly.
Off-stage we create plenty of time for sampling and discussion, and pack the show with potential partners from the supply, investment, retail and services community who have answers and solutions. Brand founders and CEOs leave the event with partners who materially impact their businesses for the better.
Natural Food Industry All-Stars Have Spoken at NOSH Live
Gold Sponsors
A Program for Brands of All Stages to Meet Industry Experts
We setup an event for brands of all stages. Early stage brands learn the basics of finance, production, marketing and retail at our Boot Camp. Some established brands take the stage with something to teach. Many seek industry exposure, partners, investment or their next product opportunity and find it during our Sampling Experience & Expo. Some brands gain exposure outside the event with our Livestream and Elevator Talk interview series. And we deliberately schedule plenty of time between programs and during the afterparty to further relationships and create new ones between brands and suppliers, investors and service providers.
The Venue
These Companies Sent Decisions Makers to NOSH Live
Sample the Latest Innovations in Natural Food.
We hear from founders and decision makers frequently that they want to have their product ready during a pitch because “May I taste your product?” is one of the most common questions. To facilitate those conversations, innovative products from attending brands are showcased throughout the event by way of sampling stations throughout the event and a two-hour Sampling Experience + Expo. Brand founders are the attendees, free to network, have business conversations, sample other products and talk shop with their peers. They move beyond the rehearsed pitch and dive deeper with industry investors, retailers, suppliers and service providers.Where the Magic Happens
The event attracts a group of decision makers who are ready to collaborate, solve problems, and open doors, and the stories we hear illustrate that. Food brands find key industry partners at NOSH Live. Gwen Burlingame, the co-founder of Beckon, says it best:
“There has been at least one connection every single time that has progressed our business forward."
Here's another example: Karen Nation, the founder of Creation Nation, approached the Walmart team with her pitch, inspired by their NOSH Live presentation this past June. Just four months later Creation Nation products can now be found in Walmart nationwide. The magic happened at NOSH Live.
A Deep Dive Into a Hot Emerging Category
The massive interest in -- and approaches to -- the incorporation of Marijuana, Hemp, THC and CBD as functional ingredients in food and beverage brands is shared by new companies and existing brands alike. Nevertheless, there is still much to understand. Food and beverage professionals are invited to navigate an ambiguous cannabis market and explore how it could impact their businesses at the one-day forum.
Hosted on June 12th, the Friday after NOSH Live and BevNET Live, attendees of either conference will receive special rates to the forum.
