HER Lab: The CPG Build, Break, & Rebuild Experience
empowHER In the Making: A Build, Break & Rebuild Experience
An immersive empowHER event designed to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to bring a CPG brand to life.
This isn’t your typical panel. It’s a live, story-driven experience where women founders and leaders walk us through the raw, unfiltered moments behind their products - the early sparks, the near-breakdowns, and the bold rebuilds that shaped their brands into what you see on shelves today.
Through a guided Build → Break → Rebuild conversation, you’ll hear untold stories of innovation, resilience, and evolution from an incredible lineup of women shaping the future of CPG:
Natasha Whiting, Founder of Kollo Health and Dozzz
Anna Persaud, CEO of This Works
Julietta Contoguris, Director of Product at Heights
Tash Courtenay-Smith, Founder & CEO of Tash Partners
Expect:
Real, intimate storytelling
Hands-on touchpoints that bring each brand’s journey to life
A curated walkthrough of some of the most innovative CPG products
A signature empowHER moment designed to leave you inspired to build whatever comes next
Lots and lots of networking, fun activation moments and products for you to take home
Whether you’re a founder, a creative, or a curious consumer, this experience is designed to spark something in you. Join us as we celebrate the women shaping the future of CPG and step into the new year with the energy to build, break, and rebuild whatever 2026 has in store.
