Plant Based World Expo North America is back and better than ever! Taking place on December 2–3, 2025, at the Javits Center in New York City, it’s the premier event for foodservice professionals and retail buyers looking to source plant-based solutions to keep your customers satisfied.
“My Gen Z customers want to eat healthier, are more concerned about animal welfare, and truly understand the environmental impact of conventional animal products,” says attendee Rob Morasco, Vice President Innovation, Sodexo Campus. “They are looking for these alternative products to meat and dairy, and if we don’t offer them, they will go somewhere else. Plant Based World Expo allows me to source that super-cool new thing Gen Z is looking for.”
