It’s that time of year again — programming season for Plant Based World Expo Europe (26–27 November, ExCeL London) and Plant Based World Expo North America (2–3 December, Javits Center NYC) is officially underway!

As the only 100% plant-based trade events designed exclusively for retail and foodservice professionals, these conferences are fueled not just by products, but by real stories from the front lines of the industry. We’re calling on you — the innovators, buyers, chefs, operators, merchandisers, and business leaders — to share your plant-powered insights with an engaged audience of industry peers.

Retail: Shelf Space Meets Strategy

Have you cracked the code on plant-based merchandising? We want to hear about it.

Whether you’re a specialty grocer building a robust vegan set, or a national chain redefining the category for mainstream shoppers, your story matters.

• Have you implemented a creative merchandising strategy for your plant-based and clean label products?

• Are you leveraging shopper data or loyalty programs to increase repeat purchases of plant-based items?

• Have you worked with brands on co-marketing activations that brought new consumers to the category?

• Are you seeing success with private label plant-based items that outperform national brands?

Your team’s strategies could be exactly the inspiration another buyer needs to rethink their approach — and grow category sales in the process.

Foodservice: Kitchen Innovation that Drives Revenue

Across quick-service chains, fine dining establishments, university dining halls, and corporate cafeterias, chefs and operators are building profitable menus that serve both vegans and meat-eaters.

• Has your kitchen developed a standalone plant-based menu alongside your traditional menu?

• Are your chefs using plant-based innovation to reduce food waste or streamline back-of-house operations?

• Have you seen increased check averages, customer loyalty, or operational savings from adding sustainable proteins?

• Are you part of a contract catering group with a success story worth sharing?

If your team has navigated the journey from curious trial to repeat success, our audience wants to learn from your playbook.
