A proper celebration
Red-carpet arrivals and a seated three-course gala dinner with time to celebrate the achievement with other founders, selected guests and invited media.
Los Angeles / April 2027
An evening for
the people behind
the growth.
An exclusive seated dinner, award recognition and a 50-minute winners panel with the founders behind the growth.
The experience
Dinner. Recognition. Founder insight.
The brands behind the numbers
A 50-minute winners panel brings together selected honorees to share the decisions, trade-offs and lessons behind their growth.
A deliberately small room
The current plan is 150–200 guests. Access is limited and requires a confirmed gala ticket; the date, venue and final capacity will be announced.
Award recognition
The brands we’ll celebrate.
Established & Breakout Brands
The leading honoree in each of the two growth tracks: Established Brand of the Year and Breakout Brand of the Year.
DTC, Amazon & TikTok Shop
Planned recognition for DTC and Amazon leaders, plus a TikTok Shop Breakthrough Award for emerging-channel momentum.
Product-category winners
One winner in each confirmed category. Health, beauty, home, pet and baby are the starting categories, subject to the qualified entry pool.
Final categories and judging criteria will be confirmed before judging. A place on the list gives consideration for awards; gala attendance does not affect selection.

The opportunity to be there.
Every selected Consumer 300 brand will have the opportunity to request an invitation.
Being on the list gives you access to the gala invitation process. It does not include a complimentary ticket or guarantee a seat. Attendance is optional and does not affect your ranking or award. Honorees receive their listing and standard media assets even if they do not attend.
Alongside MDS Inspire
Planned for Los Angeles in April 2027, following MDS Inspire. Public results follow the gala. Gala entry is separate from Inspire conference passes and dinners.
