The theme for the 2018 conference was “action” in addition to several moderated panels, lightning talks, and fireside chats, a greater emphasis was placed on skills building workshops and curated networking opportunities. The summit took place over three days in Los Angeles at The Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel featuring a full expo showcasing delicious plant-based food. The conference brought over 500 participants from various industries including tech entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, journalists, environmentalists, CEOs, animal advocates, nutritionists, effective altruists, academics, students, and non-profit executives to engage with nearly 100 speakers, panelists, and exhibitors.
