The event centers on the strategic and tactical decisions brands inevitably encounter as they grow. Speakers, buyers, investors and distributors attend ready to answer questions directly, based on what has and hasn’t worked in their own businesses.
Many of this year’s speakers built their brands from modest starts. Carbone Fine Food CEO Eric Skae began his career running distributor routes and has since led the brand from launch to $100 million in five years. Ayeshah Abuelhiga founded Mason Dixie Foods in the back kitchen of a biscuit restaurant, and the brand is now sold in thousands of stores.
Take a look at just a few of the experts we’ll have on stage this December:
- Ayeshah Abuelhiga, Founder & CEO, Mason Dixie Foods
- Eric Skae, CEO, Carbone Fine Food
- April Lane, CMO, Thrive Market
- Sam McBride, CEO, Kettle & Fire

There are also a number of options for additional education, networking and exposure, including 1:1 meetings with retailers and investors, the Nosh Live Pitch Slam, Boot Camp for startups, product sampling, and a networking lunch and happy hour.
Past attendees say the exchange goes both ways. PUR Spices founder Sonya Patel used a retail buyer’s feedback on her packaging and pricing to guide the brand’s redesign. David Shaffer, who oversees the breakfast, cookie and cracker categories at KeHE, spent the event coaching emerging brands on how to approach distribution.
