Newtopia Now cemented its status as the premier destination for natural product innovation during its triumphant second edition, which concluded August 22. The event featured comprehensive education sessions and standout products across multiple categories, including food, beverage, supplements, personal care, lifestyle and beauty. The showcase united an impressive assembly of over 480 natural, organic, and purpose-driven brands in a powerful convergence with key retailers, strategic investors, and influential industry voices.

A new administration, rapid technological advancements and economic volatility are set to reshape the landscape [this year]. From shifting tariffs and consumer behaviors to regulatory changes and retail challenges, the unknowns are vast. Yet the conscious CPG industry remains steadfast in its promise to innovate and deliver healthier, better-performing and more impactful products—ones that taste great, resonate with consumers and advance human and environmental health.

Those who know New Hope Network know that we love to help natural product companies tell their stories. To share their mission and goals, aspirations and achievements—stories that imply high standards. After all, good intentions are important, but it’s our shared vision and commitment to integrity and transparency that make them real and relevant. 

Coming from diverse backgrounds, these entrepreneurs share at least one thing in common: The belief that gathering with peers, contemporaries, buyers, influencers, mentors, business leaders and others in an intimate setting is critical to learning about the marketplace, building relationships and growing their businesses' natural and organic foods, beverages and personal care brands.

From CPG founders to investors, communication strategists, nonprofit activists and others, the women spotlighted herein represent environmental advocates, sustainability pioneers and pillars of inspiration who are leaving their mark on the natural products industry.
