THE FUTURE OF FOOD IS CHANGING. ARE YOU READY?
During this LIVE industry forum, I’ll be joined by three leading experts to share the proven framework for clean-label reformulation — including how to replace synthetic dyes, meet upcoming 2026 mandates, and strengthen consumer trust through transparency.
These are the same experts I assemble when building cross-functional advisory teams for the Future of Food Advisory Group: bringing together R&D, regulatory, and market leaders to future-proof portfolios, expand retail and co-manufacturing opportunities, and drive profitable, transparent growth across the clean-label ecosystem.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL GAIN WHEN YOU REGISTER
Live Industry Forum & Q&A: Join me and our expert panel: Paul Shapiro (The Better Meat Co.), Ronak Shah (Future Market Insights), Kyle Shannon (Storyvine x Ai Salon), and Erica Lamont (MakeBooks.ai × Aspenify) for an interactive session on replacing synthetic dyes, meeting clean-label mandates, and strengthening consumer trust. You’ll have the chance to ask direct questions of industry leaders gathered in one place.
Exclusive Market Intelligence: Be among the first to receive Future Market Insight’s new White Paper on the State of the Natural Dye Industry, available only to forum attendees.
Cross-Industry Collaboration: Learn how brands, suppliers, and manufacturers are forming partnerships now to share reformulation workloads and achieve circular growth — the agility advantage that helps smaller companies out-innovate Big Food.
Operational Frameworks & Tools: Erica Lamont shares actionable systems for project management, KPIs, benchmarking, and go-to-market execution.
Limited-Time Access & Resources: Attendees receive complimentary premium access to DyeConverter™ and the Clean Food Forum Resource Dashboard for replays, materials, and continued collaboration.

About Your Host: Chef Kelly
Some people call me the corporate chef gone rogue.
Because after nearly two decades leading culinary innovation for brands like Nestlé, Disney, and US Foods, I stepped away to explore how technology could shape our food system into one grounded in transparency, sustainability, and accountability.
That’s when I founded Future of Food Advisory Group, LLC, a consulting firm designed to help companies with clean-label reform, sustainable sourcing, and AI-ready infrastructure that turns compliance into consumer trust.
From there came my brainchild DyeConverter™ and passion project Clean Food Forum – two platforms built to make reformulation faster, data-driven, and accessible to brands of every size.
Because the future of food should be clean, safe, and built for everyone who eats.
