Gluten-Free Expo FAQs

Why Is There A Virtual Gluten-Free Expo?

The Gluten-Free Expo usually is held live in 8-10 cities per year, however, due to COVID, we cannot run live shows. What better way to celebrate gluten-freedom than to have an online show!

What Browser Do You Recommend To View The Expo?

We recommend using Chrome

Are All Of The Products Gluten-Free?

Yes, all products are gluten-free. Each brand will indicate if its products are certified gluten-free or tested to less than 20ppm. Brands will also indicate if their products are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.

How Do I Watch Classes?

Go to the menu at the top right corner of the homepage and click on “Education Session Schedule.” You can register for a class here (you will receive an email calendar invite, so you don’t forget) or you can join an ongoing class.

Ho Do I Get The Promotional Codes To Buy Products?

Click on the “Product Details & Offers” link on each product to see the promo code. Copy and paste it into the brand’s shopping cart at checkout. All brands are selling directly on their own websites and not on the festival site. Your show promotion discount will NOT automatically populate into your cart. You will need to copy and paste it.

What Happens When I Sign Up To Receive A Brand's Newsletter?

Many of the exhibiting brands have a section on their page where you can elect to sign up to receive their e-newsletters. If you choose to do this, you are giving permission to that particular brand to send you their emails. You must reside in the United States to sign up for e-newsletters from brands.

Can I Go On The Expo Website After The Show Hours And After May 15th?

Yes, you can continue to shop, watch recorded videos, and look at all of the booth information at any time after 10 am ET on Saturday, May 14th. The show will be available for one week after the expo. The only difference is that the show will not be “live” meaning there will not be anyone to chat with to answer your questions.

Why Is There A Virtual Expo?

Due to COVID, we cannot run live shows. What better way than to have an online show!

What Is A Private Chat?

A private chat is something you can register for in a booth or with a class presenter. This is similar to a zoom call and is just between you and the person you are choosing to chat with. The call will take place on the Nourished Festival portal. You can choose to turn off your camera and only use your microphone, just like in Zoom.

Why Are Some Of My Favorite Brands Not At The Expo?

We invited over 3,000 brands to attend the event. Those that chose to be part of the expo are very excited to meet with you! If you have a favorite brand that is not in attendance, reach out to them via social media so they can join us at the next online expo.

Do I Need To Register?

You only need to register if you want to watch a class, chat with an exhibitor, or sign up for a giveaway.

How Do I search By Allergen Or Attribute?

You can search for a type of product by clicking the magnifying glass at the top of the home page and then entering a search term. On the left side of the search results page, you will see the ability to filter the results by allergen or attributes.

What If I Have An Issue With A Product Or Service I Purchased?

Please reach out to that brand directly to try to resolve the issue.

How Do I Search For A Product Or Brand?

You can search for a product by clicking the magnifying glass at the top of the home page and entering a search term. You may filter by allergen, product category, or price to narrow your search results. To search for a brand, select “Exhibitor Directory” from the website Menu. The Directory lists the exhibitors in alphabetical order. Simply click on an exhibitor name or image to visit the brand’s festival booth.

What If I Want To Exhibit Or Present At The Next Online Nourished Festival?

Reach out to us at www.nourishedfestival.com or email tina@nourished.group

What Is A Group Chat?

Many of the exhibitors will be available during show hours to “chat” with you live. You can choose to text chat with them or talk with them live, like a Zoom call. This will allow for others that have questions to chat with them too, similar to if you were standing at a booth. You can turn off your camera if you don’t want to be seen, or request a private chat if you prefer.

What Is The Easiest Way To Navigate The Site?

There is a menu button at the top right corner of the home page. This will take you to the exhibitor booths, class sessions, and discounts/promotions pages. There is also a section on the home page with purple boxes that shows you all of the brand categories.

When Does The Expo Open And Are There Show Hours?

The website will be available to you starting at 10 am ET on Saturday, May 14th. Many exhibitors will be in their booths to “chat” with you from 10 am-6 pm ET on May 14-15. Live classes will also be taking place at this time and you can “chat” with the presenters. The show will be available for one month after the live event.

Will My Email and Contact Information Be Shared With Anyone If I Register?

By registering, you are giving The Nourished Festival permission to email you about new products and discounts you may find interesting. You may opt-out at any time. You are also giving the Nourished Festival permission to share your contact information with the brands you speak to in a private chat (please see below) or for any giveaways you enter.
