DENVER, CO / ACCESS Newswire / June 17, 2025 / Newtopia Now, the event destination connecting buyers and investors with innovative brands in the conscious consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry, announces an exceptional lineup of keynotes, comprehensive educational sessions and valuable networking opportunities for its second edition, taking place Aug. 20-22, 2025, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado. The three-day event will bring together industry leaders, innovators and conscious consumers in the sustainable CPG space, continuing to build on the success of its inaugural gathering.

Nearly 45% of signed-on brands are first-time exhibitors at any trade show, underscoring the vital platform Newtopia Now provides for emerging brands looking to break into retailer markets and gain crucial industry visibility.

The event will feature groundbreaking keynote presentations from industry pioneers. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon will deliver an opening expo keynote on Aug. 21 challenging conventional health wisdom with her "Muscle-Centric Medicine®" approach. The presentation will inspire attendees to think beyond traditional lifespan metrics, offering compelling insights into how the CPG industry can leverage research around protein and self-care to support consumers on their health journeys.

The Women in CPG Luncheon returns for its second year at Ophelia's Electric Soapbox, celebrating female leaders and entrepreneurs shaping the future of CPG.
