Investors and strategic CPGs will hear business plan presentations from 18 nutrition and health & wellness companies seeking capital. Presenters represent categories in natural & organic foods, functional foods, supplements, ingredients & technology, personal care and household goods, and related technology solutions.
The deadline for presenter applications for this investor meeting has passed and we encourage interested brands to submit an application for upcoming Investor Meetings.
XXIV Spring Investor Meeting Themes:
Specifically for our XXIV Spring Investor Meeting, we will be focusing on two themes: Full-spectrum Hemp/CBD and Women/Minority-owned businesses. While presenting companies will not exclusively fall into these categories, if you are interested in learning more about these areas, this will be a focus of this event. We will bring experts to discuss market opportunities, strengths and weaknesses of these topics and have a handful of companies for each to present their business models and investment priorities.
