We have a limited block of rooms reserved at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront where the Summit will be hosted. We fill up each year so be sure to book a room before it is too late!

Whether you’re plant-based or practicing Meatless Mondays, you’re a reducetarian! We each have different motivations, and are leveraging different tools, but we share one common goal — a better world. Together, we can protect the environment, improve human health, and spare farm animals from cruelty.

 

At the Reducetarian Summit, you’ll:

• Listen to world-renowned speakers

• Attend moderated panels from mainstream reporters

• Participate in skill-building workshops

• Enjoy networking opportunities

• Learn about the latest plant-based products and services

• Eat delicious food, and lots of it

COVID-19 Protocols

Dear Reducetarian Summit Attendees,

We’re so excited to see you next week! Here’s an important reminder regarding the COVID-19 policy. Please pay careful attention to it so that you are able to join us.

Reducetarian Foundation cares deeply about everyone's safety. We do not take our role as a conference provider lightly. Keeping in line with the state and hotel venue protocols that are currently in place for the upcoming Summit, at this time Reducetarian Foundation will require that all attendees:

1) either have proof of a complete vaccination (including a booster) or proof of a negative PCR test taken within 3 days of the conference start date

AND

2) upon check-in, show a photo of a negative rapid test result taken within the previous 24 hours

We believe that this protocol will enable everyone to feel safe and have an enjoyable conference experience. We will keep you posted on any additional updates on our website as the event draws closer.

Best,
