Objectives

Plant Protein Ingredients Summit Theme: ‘Shifting Consumer Behavior’

Unique 3-in-1 Industry Summit + Exhibition:
- New Consumer Insights Track
- New Retail & Food Service Trends Track
- New Category & Brands Track

The 13th Plant-Based Foods Summit will focus on consumer, retail, foods service trends as well
as new category and brand opportunities.

The demand for plant based foods is increasing and there are many opportunities for retailers,
food service operators, and brands to serve the consumer better and more inspiring foods.
Consumers are also seeking more healthy and sustainable diets and they are increasing their
plant-based foods intake.

What is driving consumers? How relevant is the climate when shopping for food? What are the
nutritional characteristcs? Is this a relevant trend? What does Generation X think about
plant-based or vegan offerings?

How can retailers and food service channels capitalize on the trend of plant based? Where are
we now and what does the future look like? What are the do’s and don’ts to build the category
with brands? What can North America learn from Europe?

Innovation is booming. New brands and categories are popping up in the existing outlets, but
also in new ones. Who will lead the market in 2 years time? How do investors perceive the plant
based opportunity
and new brands active in this space?

This unique Summit will enable brands to validate their strategies and develop new opportuni-
ties with key partners, retailers, and food service channels.

                                                                                            3

Unique 3-in-1 Industry Tracks

                      Consumer Trends Track
                      This Track will create a better
                      understanding of consumers. What is
                      driving them? How relevant is the climate
                      when shopping for food? What are the
                      nutritional requirements? Is this a relevant
                      trend? What does Generation X think about
                      plant based or vegan? How to
                      communicate? How will Canada’s New
                      Food Guide influence consumers? What will
                      drive consumers to buy more plant based
                      foods?

                      Retail & Food Service
                      Trends Track
                      The purpose of this Track to discuss and
                      showcase how retailers and food service
                      channels capitalize on plant based
                      opportunities? Where are we now and how
                      does the future look like? What are the do’s
                      and don’ts to build the category with
                      brands? What can North America learn
                      from Europe?

                      Category & Brand
                      Opportunities Track
                      This Track will focus on innovation.
                      Investments in marketing and category
                      development by brands is booming. New
                      brands and categories are popping up in
                      the existing outlets, and new channels are
                      also being developed. Who will lead the
                      market in the next two years? What is the
                      opportunity for meat, dairy, bakery and
                      other traditional categories? How can they
                      ride the wave? How do investors look at the
                      plant based opportunity and at new brands
                      in this space?
