Skip the Mistakes with NOSH Live Boot Camp, June 3 in NY

New and emerging food entrepreneurs will enjoy an exceptional chance to avoid early mistakes and accelerate growth during the NOSH Live Boot Camp, an extra session only for NOSH Live attendees taking place on Sunday, June 3 in New York.

Boot Camp features experts drawn from the CPG world, from successful entrepreneurs discussing how they overcame the challenges of their earliest growth stages to highly accomplished figures from specific disciplines like E-commerce, distribution, and finance.

The half-day Boot Camp program is designed to ramp up knowledge for entrepreneurs as they prepare to move forward in the business and also as they prepare to take in the strategic discussions that will follow during NOSH Live. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and network at a set of expert-led round table discussions in the hour following Boot Camp, and will establish connections that will carry them through the next two days of programming, as well as throughout their foray into the food business.

Boot Camp begins at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 3 in the Green Room 42 at the Yotel, 570 10th Avenue, N.Y. It’s open to all brands attending NOSH Live, which will be held the following two days, June 4 & 5.
