On August 8, 2024 we celebrated nine emerging, better-for-you CPG brands as they took the virtual stage. Learn more by checking out our recap.

Naturally Network’s National Pitch Slam, presented by NIQ, is an annual competition that brings together winners from regional pitch slams to compete on a virtual stage for the national title. Competitors are judged on their storytelling and pitch performance, retail readiness, and their ability to demonstrate our conscious business transformation framework: Passion, Purpose, People, Planet, and Prosperity.

Prizes for the 2024 Pitch Slam include a complimentary booth at Expo West 2025 for first place, as well as scholarships to SupplySide West as a hosted brand, data packages from NIQ, and more!
