Orange Friday — $200 extra discount in honor of our 20th anniversary for upcoming Summit Americas

This is a very special month for our community and networks — we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Bridge2Food. April 2002 is when the story started.

CEO & founder, Gerard Klein Essink, saw the opportunity to build a very targeted network focused on pioneering partnerships between different parts of the value chain and different roles like business and innovation to accelerate and advance for a better food world.

Step by step, year by year, Bridge2Food evolved and expanded gradually, bringing together more than 10,000 food professionals from around the world.

We’re kicking off our Orange Friday campaign with a $200 US additional discount — on top of the early-bird savings of $700 for a total of $900 — on the ticket for the upcoming Plant-Based Foods & Proteins Summit Americas, May 10-12 in Chicago.

But why wait until Friday when you can already take advantage of this deal?

EXTENDED! The special discount is now available until 11:59 PDT on April 29th.
