BiteSized: The Tech and Capital Shaping Consumer Brands
BiteSized: The Tech and Capital Shaping Consumer Brands
A focused mini-conference on how technology and capital are influencing consumer brands, both competitively and financially.
Venture Capital is betting on the next wave of consumer brands to hit store shelves. New tech is rolling out daily to better serve the customer and provide the tools to help brands do more with less.
This BiteSized conference is focused on the actionable. Expect clear use cases on how Tech/AI is actually being utilized today and a deeper understanding of the decision-making process investors use to back their next brand (and your next competitor).
Many of the most experienced operators, investors, and builders working on these problems are right here in our backyard. BiteSized conferences are designed to bring those experts into the same room, without the need to fly from coast to coast, for practical, execution-oriented conversations about what’s actually working across the retail today.
