Exhibit space for the Canadian Produce Marketing Association’s 2019 Convention and Trade Show is sold out.

The convention is April 2-4 at the Palais des Congres de Montreal, Quebec, with more than 250 fresh fruit and vegetable companies and allied industries showcase products and services.

“This year’s event will provide exceptional opportunities for business development, education, networking and socializing, as we showcase that We Are Produce,” CPMA President Ron Lemaire said in a news release.

Highlights of the convention include:

  • Keynote address by Justin Kingsley, former press secretary for Canada’s prime minister and marketing strategist for the Olympic Games and FIFA’s World Cup;
  • YouTube sensation Walk off the Earth will perform at the annual banquet; and
  • More than 50 innovative items will be in the New Produce Showcase.

Registration for the annual CPMA event will open on Jan. 7.
