During the event, Gabriela D'Arrigo and Gianna D'Arrigo sat in on multiple educational sessions and held numerous one-on-one meetings, a recent press release detailed. Exploring how companies are harnessing the power of innovation to grow their businesses and engage today’s sustainability-driven shoppers, Gabriela also spoke on a panel titled "Around Innovation and the Conscious Consumer."

The insightful panel included three other speakers:

• Kevin Kelly - Emerald Packaging
