Event description

Join GFI following the release of our annual State of the Industry reports and webinar series for a networking event to collaborate with others interested in the alternative protein industry.

During the networking session, you will be matched with other attendees and have six minutes to chat with each one. A few days before the event, you’ll have the option to request meetings with specific attendees.

You can talk about your research, your company, any challenges you’re facing in your work, or your reflections on the industry. We encourage you to continue your conversations after the event by exchanging contact information.

We look forward to your participation!
