About this Event

NYC: we're back and hosting another Grocery Run with FreshDirect on July 30, 2026!

Join us for an evening of mingling and sampling with the FreshDirect team and the wider NYC CPG community. Midway through the event, we'll host a short panel so brands can hear directly from FreshDirect on what they're looking for, how to get on their radar, and the best ways to partner and grow on the platform.
Join us for brand sampling (apply below, tables are granted by application only), networking with your favorite CPG community, and VIP guests galore.
There will be buyer introductions and networking – come meet the buyers on your list. Even if you aren’t sampling, bring product with you to hand out! Sample packets/trial sizes and backpack sampling are highly encouraged.

We’ll have food and refreshments available!
