About this Event
The Power of Food
"The Power of Food" is more than an event—it's a movement. This gathering of entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and changemakers will explore how plant-based businesses drive economic empowerment, improve health, and revitalize underserved communities. With food insecurity and sustainability at the forefront, this event highlights how plant-based entrepreneurship can be accessible, profitable, and a catalyst for change.

Also get a sneak peak of The Food Studio, slated to be one of the nation's first plant-based shared kitchen incubators. Plus, hear from Leslie Zinn of Arden’s Garden as she shares her family’s journey from a small juice shop to a multi-state vegan brand.
