Howdy, neighbor!

Busy days over here in the Newtopia Now world, as we find ourselves less than two months out from our inaugural Denver event. During this time, we’re reminded daily that with this being a first-time show, there are questions … questions galore!

Curiosity is a beautiful thing and a value that is abundant in our conscious CPG industry. Not only is this industry known for pushing the boundaries of CPG norms by asking hard questions, but it is also notorious for developing solutions to some of the biggest problems we face as a society—from food insecurity to unsustainable agriculture systems.

Curiosity is also what fueled the development of Newtopia Now, our team asking ourselves and the community what was needed out of this reimagined event and which formats would be most effective in delivering value.

Curiosity, too, is what drives our community to be asking us all the right questions—from how matchmaking works to what the activation zones will look like, and which sponsorship packages are right for them.

We recently hosted a webinar to address these questions—and so many more. The result: a groundswell of excitement around all the potential for this unique event to strengthen industry relationships and provide access to influential buyers and exciting, innovative brands. For those of you who find yourselves still asking questions ranging from the big (what is Newtopia Now?) all the way down to the most granular (how do I register for a community event or request a meeting with a brand or buyer?) this webinar is for you. Stay tuned as we roll out more community events; we’ll leave no stone unturned to ensure our community feels confident and clear in the vision—and the particulars—surrounding Newtopia Now.

In the meantime, we also encourage you to check out this podcast from RegenBrands, which digs into the neighborhood format and Newtopia Now’s commitment to showcasing companies that embrace regenerative business practices.

However you’re staying connected and informed, thank you for joining us on this journey. There’s nothing more human that curiosity, and we can’t wait to celebrate its essence—together—in August.
