2023 Global Plant-Forward Culinary Summit

The Global Plant-Forward Culinary Summit, presented by The Culinary Institute of America, is a deep dive into culinary and menu R&D strategy, building on the work of the CIA’s Menus of Change initiative and inspired by the global cultures focus of our long-running Worlds of Flavor International Conference & Festival series. This summit coincides with our Plant-Forward Kitchen education and digital media initiative which will continue to drive CIA content development in the months and years to come. This summit is a “think tank” gathering and flavor odyssey bringing together leading chefs, authors, business leaders, innovative suppliers, and trend spotters. Learn more at
