It’s Expo East recap time! New Hope Network announced on the opening day of this year’s Expo East that it would be last Expo East after nearly four decades. There will be a new format next August called Newtopia Now, which will discuss a little in the episode. Whether you weren’t able to attend Expo and are hoping to learn what is was like or if you attended but want to hear the trends and takeaways, this episode has something for you. I asked our resident Startup CPG friend and press expert Monica Watrous, Managing Editor of Food Business News & Editor of Food Entrepreneur to join us today, along with Patricia Menegoto, Startup CPG’s Head of Community & Kiki Huddleston, our Startup CPG Social Media Manager. Listen in as we discuss favorite bites and sips, trends, the new Startup CPG section at Expo East sponsored by Nielsen IQ, the Backpack Brands from the epic Startup CPG Mic Drop Party, and more.
