FPP & CMS Chicago 2026

North America’s Meeting Place for the Future of Food Innovation

Join us at The Future of Protein Production Chicago 2026, the definitive event for the pioneers reshaping proteins, ingredients, and the future of food.

As the sector expands beyond alternative proteins, FPP Chicago now serves as a dynamic hub for innovation across food technology, functional ingredients, and sustainable production systems. The event connects business leaders, scientists, investors, and policymakers working to scale solutions that deliver better nutrition with lower environmental impact.

Building on its legacy as the leading forum for plant-based, cell-cultivated and fermentation-enabled protein scale-up, FPP Chicago now embraces a wider food-tech vision — spotlighting advances in precision fermentation, ingredient functionality, food system resilience, and circular economy strategies.

While cell-cultivated foods now have a dedicated home within the Cultured Meat Symposium, Chicago remains the place to explore the technologies, partnerships, and policies driving the next era of sustainable food innovation across the Americas.
