Newtopia Now is a next generation CPG event focused on innovation, connection, and discovery across food, beverage, wellness, and personal care. Now in its third year, the show continues to evolve as a space designed for meaningful connection, where emerging brands, buyers, and industry leaders come together in a more intentional, relationship-driven environment.
Naturally Network will be onsite, bringing together emerging brands, partners, and community to create visibility, spark connection, and support long-term growth.

Naturally Network Pavilion
The Naturally Network Pavilion will feature ~30 emerging brands brought together in a shared space designed to feel connected, intentional, and easy to navigate. Located within the Thrive neighborhood, the Pavilion creates a natural point of discovery.
Rather than showing up on the floor individually, Pavilion brands are part of a collective presence that helps drive energy, increase visibility, and create more opportunities for connection throughout the show. With pre-show preparation, on-site support, and a built-in community of founders, the goal is to make the Newtopia Now experience feel more approachable, more productive, and ultimately more impactful.
