When we held this in Sydney, the audience gave us a 4.5/5
The last two years have been incredibly tough for many businesses, especially the last 6 months.
First Covid-19, then lack of staff, and then cost increases - it' a LOT!
And yet, plant-based food consumption is growing fast.
Many businesses have been surprised by the surge in demand and the competition now entering all food segments.
We are witnessing the early stages of the most significant disruption in food since the industrial revolution, a shift away from animals for food protein within the next 15 -30 years.
It’s a great opportunity to be ready for growth for the year ahead and beyond.
Following this interactive keynote presentation, business owners will:
* Save hundreds of hours of research and be able to ignore the 'noise' in the market. (summarised highlights to be provided for attendees)
* Better understand the plant-based wave approaching and how to speak to different marketing segments.
* Experience a masterclass - how to find your space in a growing market.
* Participate in an Open Q&A - Addressing real issues raised by you and attendees
* Have an opportunity to network & collaborate with other plant-based business owners
* Understand ways to INCREASE your business valuation & funding.
*Further, $10 from each ticket will go towards Peanuts Wellbeing Sanctuary*

Testimonial
“Bob’s presentation is absolutely excellent. He really understands this huge wave and opportunity presenting itself to the world. Bob presented a compelling story, and size of the opportunity clear” - Nick Hazell, CEO of V2 Food
The event was great! I felt uplifted afterwards. The networking & presentation showed new possibilities - vegan businesses need to get a move on! Vegan businesses can be so supportive, we just need to reach out and connect! This event provided opportunities for future collaborations.
Amanda - The Kynd Kitchen
The event gave us a chance to connect with vegan businesses that we would not otherwise have been able to. Pressing questions are also answered by Bob and other business founders in a welcoming environment. Also, a note about Bob’s events, he has a way of driving engagement amongst a group. We valued the complementary events he put on through Covid-19, where many businesses collaborated and shared ideas in an online discussion forum.
Colin & Gordon - Green Gourmet Family
Bob has been instrumental in bringing knowledge and expertise to vegan business owners looking to grow. His facilitation of group information sessions has provided my business with new directions and insights that have a direct positive impact on growth and profitability.
