What Is Speed Mentoring?
Our speed mentoring event is a series of short, focused conversations where food industry experts answer specific questions about your business.

How Does It Work?
Attendees will have an opportunity to meet with all of our industry experts by moving around the room every three minutes. A buzzer will sound when the time is up, and there will be a few minutes to move to the next expert. There will also be opportunities for informal networking over food and drinks at the beginning and end of the event.

Who Should Attend?
Our event is designed for both startup and established food and beverage entrepreneurs seeking valuable advice on how to take their CPG businesses to the next level.

Benefits Of Speed Networking
