Last week at Expo West, 200 women and allies gathered for the Females in Food Expo West Mixer — bringing together executive leaders and decision-makers from across the food and beverage value chain.
It wasn’t just a networking event.
It was momentum.
The evening brought together leaders from across the industry to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate innovation shaping the future of food and beverage.
Several exciting industry moments unfolded during the event.
Jessica Simpson announced her entry into the food and beverage space through a licensing partnership with Macaron Queen — a milestone that marks her official move into the industry.
Our premier event sponsor, Umami, made its official debut, introducing an AI-enabled platform designed to reshape how food and beverage teams innovate. The platform transforms real consumer insight into concepts that resonate and scale, while leveraging each brand’s unique advantages and constraints.
And Lifeway Foods celebrated two milestones — their 40th anniversary and the launch of their new Cultured Kefir Butter, continuing their legacy of innovation in dairy.
These announcements and celebrations reflect exactly what the Females in Food community is about.
Females in Food is where women in the food and beverage industry come to connect, launch new ventures, find support, and create opportunities to advance.
When the right leaders are in the right room, conversations turn into collaboration.
Ideas turn into action.
And moments turn into movement.
Expo West reminded us what’s possible when community and industry leadership come together.
If you want access to the network, resources, and conversations that will help advance your career and shape the future of food and beverage, we invite you to join us inside the Females in Food community.
