Future of Food Series: The Future of Grocery


Fresh and packaged food delivered to your home, checkout-free shopping, and auto-replenishment are just a sample of the fast growing grocery innovations seen today.


In our 4th and final panel in the Future of Food Series, we will be speaking with New England's leading startup founders, consultants and market CEO's to discuss the latest trends in consumer purchasing, digital retailing, and grocery innovation.

David is a serial technology entrepreneur whose passion is to create and build innovative companies that take advantage of emerging market shifts. David is CEO & Founder at Forager, an early stage startup with a mission of making locally sourced food more widely available to all.

She is the CEO at Boston Public Market, an indoor, year round marketplace for locally sourced groceries and specialty agricultural products, where residents and visitors can find fresh, seasonal food from Massachusetts and New England.
