We believe that we have an unparalleled opportunity to cross-pollinate ideas across sectors, academic fields, and industries. We aim for this event to celebrate our local roots and forge connections by connecting founders, entrepreneurs, researchers, educators, community organizers, and other visionary stakeholders who are building the alternative protein ecosystem, movement, and strategic plan in regional San Diego. The event will be held at both the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union (San Diego State University) and virtually via a zoom meeting by the below link:
