There are moments in your work when you can feel something bigger taking shape.
For me, being a part the Power Of The Plate Conference (POP) is one of those moments.
What started years ago as a clinician-focused gathering has evolved into something much more ambitious. POP is now a global convening where healthcare, food systems, sustainability, policy, and innovation come together around one powerful idea: whatās on our plate shapes the future of human and planetary health.
And honestly⦠this one feels different.
Because this isnāt just about more information.
Itās about activation.
Over four days in San Diego (May 14ā17, 2026), weāre bringing together clinicians, researchers, educators, and changemakers who are ready to move from evidence to real-world impact.
What excites me most:
The depth of the science
The cross-sector collaboration
And yes⦠the chef-curated, whole-food, plant-based meals that spark some of the most meaningful conversations of the entire event.
Iāve seen firsthand how powerful this community is when it gathers in one place. The energy is real. The connections last. The ripple effects show up in clinics, communities, and systems long after the conference ends.
If youāre a healthcare professional, educator, or changemaker who believes food can be a lever for meaningful change, I would love to see you there.
