Series Brings Together Small Groups on the Challenges and Opportunities Facing Fast-Growing Food and Beverage Brands in the US and Europe

WESTMINSTER, Colo., April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Next week, TraceGains, a pioneering force in integrated compliance, nutritional calculation and labeling, and new product development software for the food and beverage industry, will kick off its months-long g et-Together event series, starting on April 15 in Westminster, CO, with additional events planned throughout the year in the U.S. and Europe. Designed to help food and beverage brands meet their innovation goals and stay a step ahead in an increasingly competitive global market, the series will empower participants with actionable insights to help streamline their product development processes, drive growth, and build a more collaborative ecosystem.

During a period of rapid change for the global food industry, TraceGains' latest research reveals that 76% of brands are planning to increase their NPD spend in 2024, up 12% from last year. Despite the enthusiasm, more than a third are still using manual product development processes. With increasing consumer demands for healthier options, a fast evolving regulatory environment, and ongoing supply chain disruptions pushing up costs, it's clear that brands have their work cut out for them.

Each event in the g et-Together series will feature interactive sessions, panel discussions, and dedicated networking opportunities with industry experts on the trends, technologies, and best practices for enhancing product quality, safety, and compliance.
