Plant Based World Expo North America Announces New December Dates for 2025
Prime Dates. Prime Location. Maximum Exposure.
New York, NY – Plant Based World Expo North America is back in 2025 — and our dates have changed. The show will now take place December 2-3, 2025 at the Javits Center in New York City, placing the world’s premier plant-based B2B event at a powerful time of year for industry momentum and decision-making.
This date change aligns with an even greater evolution: in 2025, plant-based food is reaching new heights, and Plant Based World Expo is the ultimate place to witness this transformation in action. From cutting-edge product innovation to high-level networking, this year’s show promises more visibility, more buyers, and more business opportunities than ever before.
2025: A Defining Year for Plant-Based Food
With plant-based food adoption accelerating in both retail and foodservice, the demand for high-quality, flavorful, and functional products is reaching a new threshold. Plant Based World Expo North America is the only professional trade show in the region dedicated exclusively to plant-based business — a marketplace for the products, ingredients, and insights that are reshaping our global food system.
Expect to connect with thousands of foodservice professionals, retailers, distributors, and investors who are actively seeking the next wave of plant-based excellence. This year’s event will feature:
- World-class education with keynote speakers and panelists from top food industry brands
- Hosted buyer meetings connecting exhibitors directly with top retail and foodservice decision-makers
- Expanded product showcases across every plant-based category: meats, dairy, beverages, snacks, functional foods, and beyond
- Unrivaled networking across two days with the industry’s most influential innovators and changemakers
A New Era with Emerald
The new dates also coincide with the show’s first year under Emerald X LLC, the largest producer of trade shows and conferences in the U.S. The acquisition unlocks significant new growth potential, including access to Emerald’s expansive network of food and beverage professionals — including thousands of contacts from events like the International Pizza Expo.
This partnership provides unmatched co-promotion and cross-industry opportunities for plant-based brands looking to expand their reach and gain visibility with buyers outside the traditional plant-based bubble.
