NEW: Food Tech Trends 2018 Webinar
Date / Time: March 6, 2018, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Event Tickets

Leading food companies are facing pressure on all sides. Consumer preferences are shifting, and Kraft Heinz, Campbell’s, and others have seen falling US sales drag on profits. Startups like Halo Top and Chobani are stealing market share. Meanwhile, food brands’ clients are becoming competitors as grocery chains invest more into their own private labels, and as Amazon rolls out its own food products. Many major food companies have begun to invest in e-commerce, healthier product options, new corporate venture funds, and other tools, but is it enough? How will food leaders adapt in 2018? Learn here.

Food Stories by Haasies:

Food has always been at the center of my family. Growing up, West Indian black cake was something I looked forward to having every Christmas and on special occasions. My husband and I, of course, had to have black cake for our wedding last summer. My aunt baked the cakes and they were one of the most special elements of our day.
