Who was at the Planted Expo? Attendees were those who already follow or are interested in a plant-based lifestyle. People looking for new plant-based products.
The Enercare Centre was a busy place – speakers, exhibitor booths, demos, food trucks and other food booths to eat more delicious vegan / plant-based foods. Lots of learning about plant-based products and lifestyle. It was a great first time for the Planted Expo in Toronto! And we look forward to 2024!
