Airplanes landing in Anaheim, California, on Tuesday were filled with folks coming to Expo West. Today’s the day they’ve been waiting for.
Fresh Ideas Organic Marketplace is open from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday in the white tent by the Marriott. Many, if not most, of these brands will not be exhibiting the rest of the week, so don’t miss this chance to meet them.
We’ve also mapped out the Expo West 2024 NEXTY Award finalists who are exhibiting in the Marketplace.
The Hot Products Pavilion— in the North Halls and ACC Level 3—will open only to buyers at noon and at 1 p.m. to all badge holders.
