The 2019 Reducetarian Summit was a huge success! On September 27th - 29th, 2019, we hosted the third annual Reducetarian Summit. The keynote speech was delivered by best-selling author Jonathan Safran Foer, author of the book, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast (Farrar, Straus and Giroux: 09/17/2019).

The summit took place over three days in Washington D.C. at The Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel. In addition to several moderated panels, lightning talks, and fireside chats, a greater emphasis will be placed on skills building workshops and curated networking opportunities. The Reducetarian Summit also featured a full expo showcasing delicious plant-based food. The Reducetarian Summit is designed to complement the The Reducetarian Cookbook (Hachette Book Group) The Reducetarian Solution (Penguin Random House). 

This two-day conference will bring 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.
