NCN hosts three Investor Meetings each year: an East Coast Spring meeting (New York or DC), a West Coast Fall meeting (San Francisco or Los Angeles), and an annual half-day November event (Las Vegas) dedicated to ingredients and technology. NCN remains active throughout the year, cultivating partnerships between innovators and investors, hosting conference calls, and fostering a flow of new companies into the network.
