“The plant-based industry continues to grow and innovate at a breakneck pace, and Plant Based World Expo is the only place to experience all the industry has to offer under one roof,” says Benjamin Davis, VP of Content at PBW. “So much has happened since our last conference in 2019, and we can’t wait to bring the latest plant-based products to decision makers and educate them on how these foods will improve their bottom line and the health of the people they serve.”
