*What is the Scale **Your** Progressive Food Business workshop series?*
Four workshops that provide practical tips for progressive retail and
packaged goods companies to reach and maintain success. Each workshop
focuses on an area of food business development. Subject experts share
advice, participants engage in hands-on exercises, and a notable food
entrepreneur shares its story of growth. Each workshop ends with networking
and community building time over local food and brew. The series culminates
with a keynote event celebrating our graduates.

*What is Feeding Growth?*
