The Conscious Business Pitch Competition is an annual pitch event hosted by Naturally Colorado that highlights purpose-driven, emerging CPG and conscious product brands. Formerly known as the “Pitch Slam,” founders get the chance to present their business to a panel of industry experts, gain exposure, connect with mentors and peers, and compete for valuable prizes that can help accelerate growth and visibility.

Finalists are selected to pitch live (Wednesday, April 22, 2026 ), where each gets a few minutes to share their story and vision. Winners receive opportunities like a complimentary booth at New Hope’s Newtopia Now, business support services, and further networking possibilities with retailers and industry leaders.

This event also includes community networking, product sampling in the Innovation Showcase, and chances for established brands to exhibit new products. Applications to the Naturally Rising pitch competition are due February 6th.
