Animal and Vegan Advocates Unite in Los Angeles: the AVA Summit is back!
June 23, 2023

Despite years of successful campaigning and vegan advocacy, global meat consumption is still rising. A new international summit, The Animal & Vegan Advocacy (AVA) Summit is tackling this head-on.
The new flagship conference for the animal and vegan advocacy movement is bringing together diverse and contemporary thought leaders and experts in animal advocacy. The AVA Summit is the space in which organizations and advocates gather in community and advance their collective impact on systemic change for animals.
“If you are ever in doubt about how to do good in the world — speak up for animals. And join the many, many people already doing so: Because our voice gets louder when we gather.”
Julia Reinelt
Director, AVA Summit
Join close to 1,000 advocates to learn from 100+ rising stars and expert speakers on animal advocacy, social justice, effective altruism, and food systems change. See the full program and speaker lineup here!
“Attendees can expect to leave with newfound inspiration, strategies, and methods to be more impactful advocates — whether in their personal advocacy, or within their organizations.”
Michael Webermann
Program and Partnerships, AVA Summit
The AVA Summit welcomes people with all motivations, including animal rights, animal welfare, social justice, environmental impact, or personal health. The diverse speaker list will expose attendees to a broad range of strategies and tactics for advancing this vision, from grassroots activism to highly specialized engagement, legislative change, corporate engagement, and advancing animal-free technologies.
“Our attendees work on all kinds of strategies and tactics, but they share one goal: Creating a world in which animals are taken out of the food system and other human uses.”
Julia Reinelt
Director, AVA Summit
The organizers of AVA hope that attendees will be empowered to continue with their effective and influential efforts within the movement, with the goal of empowering them to succeed in saving the lives of animals by systematically changing the food system.

The Animal & Vegan Advocacy (AVA) Summit will take place in Los Angeles, CA at the LAX Marriott Hotel. The event will begin on Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 1pm PST, and end on Sunday, July 30, 2023 at 1:45 PST.
