About this Event

Food, Freedom & Black Futures Conference

πŸ“ Pittsburgh Yards | Atlanta, GA
πŸ“… Wednesday, June 24 | 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM

What does the future of food look like in Black communities?

What happens when culture, health, entrepreneurship, technology, land, and liberation all come together in one space?

Plant to the Future is more than a conference β€” it’s a bold conversation about the future of food, wellness, ownership, and economic freedom in our communities.

Inspired by the spirit of Juneteenth and the vision of Afrofuturism, this immersive experience brings together chefs, farmers, entrepreneurs, investors, wellness advocates, community leaders, creatives, and change-makers to explore how food can become a tool for healing, innovation, wealth-building, and transformation.

Throughout the day, attendees will experience:

  • Visionary keynote conversations
  • Dynamic panel discussions
  • Interactive networking opportunities
  • Conversations around plant-based innovation, food equity, and Black food futures
  • Entrepreneurship and wealth-building resources
  • Community dialogue and ecosystem building
  • A special Financial Speed Dating Experience presented by Quantum Wealth

Topics include:
🌱 Food justice & health equity
🌱 Black food entrepreneurship
🌱 Access to capital & community investment
🌱 The future of plant-based food in Black communities
🌱 Land, ownership & cultural legacy
🌱 Shared kitchens, food innovation & scaling businesses
🌱 Wealth-building & financial wellness

Whether you’re a food entrepreneur, creative, investor, nonprofit leader, student, wellness advocate, or someone passionate about the future of our communities, this event is designed to inspire action, collaboration, and possibility.

This is not just a conference.

It’s a glimpse into the future.

Come help us Plant the Future.
