The Canadian Produce Marketing Association says online registration is open for its 2025 CPMA Annual Convention and Trade Show (CPMA 2025 Fresh Week), which will be held in Montreal.

The Canadian Produce Marketing Association’s annual trade show is Canada’s largest event dedicated to the fresh fruits and vegetable industry. CPMA said this year’s show marks its 100th anniversary and will take place April 8-10 at the Palais des Congrès. The event will feature 690 booths representing more than 300 companies from around the world including, major growers, importers and exporters, and more.

Attendees who register as full delegates have access to activities that offer unique opportunities to enrich their industry knowledge and grow their business in Canada, CPMA says. These include the trade show floor, business sessions, and social events such as the chair’s welcome reception, CPMA’s after-party, awards brunch, the delegate breakfast and the annual banquet.

CMPA will hold a sustainability session at Le Westin Montreal on April 8. The association said this event is an industry-led, hands-on half-day workshop designed to equip those responsible for sustainability in their firms with the knowledge, connections and insights necessary to develop and execute their sustainability reporting strategy.

Following the annual convention and trade show on April 11, the Women In Produce Summit will take place at Le Westin Montreal. This half-day event will feature keynote speaker Marcy Grossman, who will set the stage for interactive discussions the power of diplomacy and leadership.

“We are looking forward to reconnecting with industry members once again in Montreal,” CPMA President Ron Lemaire said. “This year’s event will be even more special as we will not only provide members with exceptional education, networking, and business development opportunities but also celebrate the organization’s 100 years of supporting the growth of the produce industry.”

Early bird registration rates run through Feb. 21, the association said. To register and reserve accommodation for these events, visit the CPMA Convention website.
