EVENT DETAILS

As 2019 unfolds, nascent trends & paradigm-shifting innovations continue to rock the food industry. Fast-growing demand for plant-based alternatives are eating out sales of dairy & animal-based products. Recent trend reports claim 2019 is said to be the year plant-based meat goes mainstream. Functional foods have taken a more prominent role in the American diet. From personalization to direct-to-consumer models, startups are radically rethinking how food products are developed, packaged & sold.

Join us to hear from some of the game-changing startups who are rethinking CPG at our January Food+Tech Meetup. Speakers will do a deep dive into their business models, growth & technology.

We will also have networking with the community & lots of great food & drinks to sample from Keetz & Co, Minna, Four Sigmatic, Sweet Dough + More.
