You've Got The Power

The team behind the phenomenally successful Vegfest shows brings Plant Powered Expo to the UK early next year.

A brand new show celebrating the best of plant-based living is coming to London Olympia on February 1-2, 2020. Producers, suppliers and retailers alike will want to grasp the opportunity.

The show will focus on growing brands and established businesses, prioritising healthy living and the feelgood factor from following a plant-based way of life, with 235 stalls, 12 feature areas, 100 expert speakers and an expected footfall of 15,000 attendees.

With around 6.5m British adults currently trying a meat-free diet and the number of vegans in the UK set to skyrocket by 327% by next year (source: finder.com), the new show presents an ideal opportunity to build business in the plant-based sector.

“This maiden event will showcase the best of plant-powered living, featuring the latest plant-based products on the market,” says organiser Tim Barford. “It will also celebrate the projects and people that are making the changes at the cutting edge of plant-powered living.

”Plant Powered Expo focuses on established vegan brands, new and emerging brands, brands with new vegan products, and especially new product launches for 2020 to coincide with the new Veganuary market. The stars of the show at Plant Powered Expo are the new vegan products on the market for 2020.”

Barford, who has 17 years’ experience organising some of the biggest vegan events in the UK, is offering a range of opportunities to companies and retailers targeting consumers who have seen the benefits of plant-based living or are simply intrigued by this growing phenomenon.

The feature areas will include:

Taste Plant Based – Discovering plant-based cheese, meat, chocolate, cake and tasting sessions.
