INNOVATION AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT INTENSIVE:

NATURALLY CHICAGO CPG GROWTH SERIES II

Friday, November 6

Naturally Chicago's CPG Growth Series Part II takes place on November 6 with our limited-capacity Innovation Workshop, in which attending brands will hear from leading industry experts — including Margie Omastiak, the Senior Category Merchant for Whole Foods Market. The event is co-presented by Bank of America, Mattson and Truli.

This program will take place from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Bank of America Tower (110 N. Wacker), and will be followed by a food-and-beverage reception. (Note: There are also reception-only tickets available... see below.)

The talent in the following run of show underscores why growth-focused brands should register right away and reserve one of the 60 available seats:
