Investors and strategic CPGs will hear business plan presentations from up to 20 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.
2020 Spring Investor Meeting Themes:
For 2020, our Investor Meetings will be focusing on two themes: Heal the Earth and Diversity in Leadership. 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.
