This year’s event will feature both indoor and outdoor event spaces. There will be a festival-style courtyard, marketplace, networking alley, food trucks, and a premium activation space for brands.
“We are thrilled to bring the Vegan Women Summit back, bigger and better than ever!,” Stojkovic said in a statement. “More than half of our attendees are actually not vegan, which I think is a huge win. In fact, our mission at VWS is to showcase not only the lifestyle opportunities, but the incredible business case for the vegan food, fashion, and beauty industries.”
