Find out the answers to these questions - and a whole bunch of others – at our online beverage innovation event on February 21, where we explore hot button issues in the beverage aisle, find out which categories are growing, and which emerging trends may have legs.
In this FREE-to-attend event, FoodNavigator-USA and BeverageDaily have invited CEOs from meal replacement brand Soylent, nut-milk fueled brand Califia Farms and new sports beverage brand KRā, market researcher Euromonitor International, design agency Perspective Branding, Ohio-based retailer Mustard Seed Market, and a leading food law attorney to explore what consumers want, how retailers view the category, how to build a beverage brand and stand out on shelf, and how to avoid legal hot water.
We’ll also address topics including:
- How is the war on sugar impacting the beverage category?
- What are retailers looking for from beverage brands?
- Will Diet Coke’s new look reverse its flagging fortunes?
- What is the key to successful beverage packaging design?
- What claims could land you in legal hot water?
