Ground-breaking 100% plant-based trade event for the food industry features the biggest names in plant-based food and an opening keynote with best-selling author and innovation consultant Matt Mueller
Plant-based food and beverages have entered a new era of resilient growth and innovation. Healthier, tastier, low-carb, soy-free and other options are contributing to a projection that the market will reach $77.8 billion by 2025. The place to experience the next era of plant-based is the upcoming Plant Based World Expo (PBW), North America’s pioneering plant-based trade show and conference.
Designed exclusively for foodservice and retail professionals, distributors, investors and manufacturers, PBW returns to New York September 7-8, 2023 at the Javits Center.
“The plant-based industry has grown at lightning speed since we launched the first Plant Based World in 2019,” said Benjamin Davis, content chair and strategic advisor, Plant Based World Expo. “Each year, we’ve grown and evolved to meet the demand and to showcase the next wave of innovative and accessible products. PBW continues to be the must-attend industry event where buyers learn about the latest plant-based foods and beverages and where the next era of plant-based begins.”
The opening keynote, Creating Purposeful Growth with Mindful Innovation, features best-selling author and innovation consultant Matt Mueller, who will share strategies for learning how to innovate faster with purposeful growth. You will go as far back as 4,000 BC to learn from early day innovations and deploy a level of awareness that will uncover the secret formula to business success, stripping innovation to its foundation. With this newfound clarity you will learn how to identify real consumer problems, supercharge your creativity, and collaborate like a pro.
