Midwest + Mountain Mingle
Headed to Expo West? So are we!
Join us at the Midwest and Mountain Mingle presented by C.H. Robinson! This event is co-hosted by Naturally Minnesota, Naturally Wisconsin, Naturally Chicago, and Naturally Colorado for four times the connections.
This gathering brings together the Midwest and Mountain Region food and beverage innovation community—founders, industry leaders, investors, retailers, and ecosystem supporters—for meaningful networking in the middle of the Expo West buzz. We especially encourage our Naturally "ex-pats" to join us!
📍 Where: Anaheim Convention Center -- 2nd-floor balcony outside the MN Alley (Katella Terrace), North Hall
🕓 When: Thursday, March 5 | 4:00–6:00 PM
Stop by for a break from the salty snack overload and enjoy hearty bites and beverages before heading into your evening plans.
Directions to Katella Terrace (aka 200-Level Balcony, North Hall):
Enter North Hall on the ground level and take the escalator up to the second floor, or cross over via the sky bridge from the Main ACC.
We can't wait to mingle with you!
