About this Event
Startup CPG is thrilled to host a celebration of this community in our first return to Anaheim since 2019 by renting out the 1,200-person capacity Anaheim Bowlero (10 minute walk from conference) for a fun-filled soiree & networking event. Event & open bar & bowling runs 7-9pm, then afterwards, cash bar and we can stay til they kick us out!
Event highlights:
- 41 lanes of blacklight bowling
- Open bar
- Pool tables
- Nachos. So many nachos.
- NielsenIQ station (brands can get data to make decisions & help their sales efforts!)
Backpack Brands
We're excited to announce a dedicated area for Backpack Brands - those products / founders who are too early/small to have a booth at Expo, but are attending the show and would love to show off their samples/prototypes. The top-rated Backpack Brand will win a booth at Expo '23! This area is sponsored by Catapult Commercialization Services - need help figuring out how / where to make your product / get to market? Hit them up!
