It's been a big few weeks for Umami, joining innovators, category leaders, and growth drivers on the ground at Food Innovate in Atlanta and Expo West in Anaheim.

Food Innovate

At Food Innovate, Umami CEO Danyel O'Connor moderated and participated in the kickoff panel discussion, "Clean Label 2.0: Balancing Transparency, Functionality, and Consumer Trust." We also had the opportunity to build relationships with some incredible brands and innovation leaders, including teams from Wonderful Co., Palermo's Pizza, Egglife Foods, Mars Petcare, Bay State Milling, and Mondelez, among many others.

Expo West

At Expo West, Umami partnered with the Females in Food Network to lead a discussion around innovation and technology, including the growing role of collaboration, like the partnership announced at the event between Macaron Queen and Jessica Simpson.

What we kept hearing

Across both events, the conversations reinforced something we hear again and again from brand leaders: innovation teams are overwhelmed with ideas, but starving for clarity. And that's exactly what Umami is built to deliver.

Danyel also joined The Produce Moms podcast to discuss how brands can navigate today's evolving food landscape. Listen to the episode here.
