Pitch Semi-Finalists Basked in Showcase Spotlight
Six outstanding Naturally Chicago partner brands were center stage during our Pitch Competition and Innovation Forum, held May 27 in downtown Chicago’s Venue SIX10. You can read all about them — including 1st place winner RMBR Kombucha and 2nd place winner Vitaminis — in our blog by clicking the button below.
But what makes these achievements even more impressive is that these brands emerged from a field of nearly two dozen semi-finalists, all of them strong, high-potential brands. To ensure that all these brands had time in the spotlight, Naturally Chicago for the second year in a row presented the Innovation Showcase, a tabling and sampling event.
In fact, the Showcase was the first thing attendees saw when they arrived for the event. While the formal program was held in the venue’s auditorium on the 2nd floor, the Showcase spread out just inside the front door.

The Showcase was open for an hour before the program started, during a half-hour break, and during the reception at the end of the program.
