Sustainability. Strategy. Growth.

Two upcoming Forums are bringing together the leaders, builders, and changemakers shaping the future of Colorado's natural products industry.

Sustainability Forum: Old Salt & Spinster Sisters Behind-the-Scenes Tour
July 15 | Boulder

Join us for an exclusive look inside the Spinster Sisters Co. / Old Salt Grooming Supply Microsoapery, where sustainable manufacturing meets innovation. We'll explore low-waste production, solid-format personal care, responsible sourcing, and what it looks like for a certified B Corp to scale without compromising its values.

Marketing Forum: From Data to Decision
August 14 | Boulder

Featuring NielsenIQ leaders Erica Harrison and Colleen McGinnis, this session dives into what's actually driving velocity in today's natural products landscape. We'll explore consumer behavior shifts, pricing and promotion strategies, where emerging brands are winning (and losing), and how to turn data into better business decisions.

Whether you're focused on sustainability, brand growth, consumer insights, or all of the above, these Forums are designed to help you learn from industry experts and connect with peers navigating similar challenges.

Quick heads up for our Naturally Colorado members, you have free access to two of the most powerful syndicated data platforms in CPG and I'd bet most of you don't know it.

NIQ Byzzer and SPINS Ignite. Both free. Both the same tools Fortune 500 brands pay serious money for.

Here's what you get:

NIQ Byzzer: three complimentary reports pulling retail POS data, shopper behavior, and full channel coverage [e.g. the same market intelligence your biggest competitors are using]

SPINS Ignite: free monthly data [$500/month value] tracking weekly category and subcategory growth across Natural and Independent Grocery — who's gaining share, what attributes are driving demand, how your category is moving

These answer the questions emerging brands are always trying to answer without a research budget: Where is my category growing? How am I benchmarking? What trends should I be chasing?

If you're making calls on distribution, pricing, or innovation without this data, now you don't have to. Go use it!

🌱 Sustainability isn't built in a boardroom alone, it's built through real systems, real partnerships, and real-world action.

Join us for the kickoff of the Naturally Colorado Sustainability Forum as we go behind the scenes with Scraps Compost, a local leader helping create a more circular food system across Colorado.

Together, we'll explore how food waste becomes nutrient-rich compost, connect the dots between waste diversion and regenerative agriculture, and discuss practical ways businesses can reduce environmental impact while strengthening long-term resilience.

Whether you're a founder, sustainability leader, student, supplier, or simply passionate about building a better food system, this Forum is designed to inspire conversation and actionable learning.

What if your marketing team had a system that understood your brand as well as your best marketer?

Join us for the kickoff of the Naturally Colorado Marketing Forum as we explore the "Brand Brain," an AI-powered marketing operating system helping CPG brands strengthen consistency, streamline workflows, and create smarter, more effective marketing.

Led by Craig Foldes of ChatWalrus, this session will dive into how brands are building AI tools rooted in their mission, values, customer profiles, and brand voice to support everything from email campaigns and homepage copy to creative briefs and content strategy.

For marketers, founders, storytellers, and growth leaders navigating a rapidly changing landscape, this conversation is designed to move beyond AI hype and into practical application.
