NOSH LIVE SUMMER 2018 SPONSORS
THE INDUSTRY IS GROWING AND SO ARE WE. ENTER DAY 2.
The natural products space is booming at close to $150 billion dollars annually. Investment is extraordinary with million dollar raises becoming common-place, while trendy spaces like plant-based meats have companies like Impossible Foods who just raised another $114 million.
The playbook for brands is ever-changing with big shifts in retail and new players entering the traditional and club channels causing brands to ask big questions. And there are as many questions about direct-to-consumer. The industry is booming so we added a second day to help make sense of where we have been and where we are heading.
The Venue
A DISTINCT FOCUS ON BRAND AWARENESS AND INDUSTRY EXPOSURE
The NOSH Live experience is about the community getting acquainted, learning about what’s next and accelerating. Some brands are just starting and looking for capital and awareness. Others are established and have something to teach. Some brands are in discovery mode, looking for brands to add to an incubator or to spot their next product opportunity. Others want to gain an advantage with their production or marketing. Enter Pitch Slam and the Sampling Experience + Expo.
