CPG resource round up 2025
Join us for a unique networking opportunity that connects local food entrepreneurs with expert resource providers, offering essential connections and knowledge crucial for building and sustaining your business.Who should attend? This event is tailored for early-stage founders in the CPG space—whether you have an idea, are pre-revenue, sell at farmers markets, or have minimal retail presence.
Prepare by bringing your business questions. Think about areas like licensing, regulation, food safety, product development, packaging, labeling, marketing, finances, and more. The more specific your questions, the more valuable your interactions with our resource providers will be.
What to bring? Just yourself, though bringing note-taking materials and something to collect resources like business cards is recommended. If you have product samples or mockups of packaging, bring them along for feedback.
Additional details: Prior to the event, we'll send you a look book of all attending Resource Providers. Review it to prioritize your connections and make the most of your time.
Parking and Logistics: Parking is in the back. We also have other parking space available as well. There is a map of the areas available under the documents section of this pace. They are marked in the blue rectangles. The backdoor entrance to the building is circled in red. The room is on the 4th floor, please take the elevator up.
Join us at NDC for an event that could make all the difference for your food business!
