On the Future Food Show, host Alex Shirazi interviews Pete Mortimer of FPG Media about his path from fine dining chef in the UK to leading sales and growth in the alternative protein space. Pete shares how the intensity and teamwork of professional kitchens now mirrors the shared mission he sees across sustainable protein innovators.

They discuss FPG Media’s evolution from virtual events and digital publishing into large in-person conferences, including events at McCormick Place, plus the growth of its magazine, webinars, and event app. The focus: building a collaborative ecosystem across cultivated, fermentation-enabled, and plant-based proteins while making events more accessible through strong digital tools and free expo access.
