Not much time remains until early bird registration closes March 3 for the 2023 Canadian Produce Marketing Association Convention and Trade Show.

The CPMA event is set for April 25-27 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, and industry members are encouraged to take advantage of the reduced rate to register as full delegates, according to a news release. Attendees who purchase full delegate passes have access to all event offerings, including:

  • A sold-out trade show floor with over 600 booths representing more than 270 companies.
  • A keynote address from Josh Linkner, a world-renowned expert on innovation, disruption and hypergrowth leadership.
  • Entertaining social and networking evenings such as the chair’s welcome reception, after-party, and the annual banquet.
  • Business sessions and learning lounges where experts will share insights on important topics affecting the industry.
  • New product showcase where the most innovative products in the produce industry will be on display, and more.

CPMA’s annual Convention and Trade Show is Canada’s largest event entirely dedicated to the fresh fruits and vegetable industry, according to the release. Each year, the show attracts international participants representing the entire fresh produce supply chain.

Online registration will remain open after the March 3 early bird registration deadline. More information is available on the CPMA convention website.
