*Update: The plant-based exhibition has been postponed due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. It will now take place on September 5 and 6 this year. 

The Vegan & Plant Powered Show will be held in Cape Town on the 30th and 31st of May 2020 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). It will be the first of its kind in South Africa, bringing the vegan, plant-based and conscious living revolution to a mainstream audience.

Plant-Power Talks

One of the show highlights will be the ‘Plant-Power Talks’ (on the ProVeg Stage), hosted by leading plant-based food and lifestyle organisation ProVeg International.

Says ProVeg Director Donovan Will: “As the global move towards more plant-based diets and vegan lifestyles has been growing, South Africans are learning about the benefits of this change – the Vegan & Plant Powered Show is a great opportunity to accelerate this learning… Most importantly, it’s an opportunity to sample, and even learn to cook, tasty, healthy and sustainable food…”
