Nosh Live LA 2026: CPG Wins, Losses, and the Decisions in Between

No one needs another conference where everyone says the things you could have read on LinkedIn.

Nosh Live is built around something more specific: the series of decisions that move a brand from one milestone to the next — when to walk away from a slotting fee that doesn’t pencil out, when to pull a flavor instead of riding it out, when to cut a distributor loose instead of waiting on the callback.
