OTTAWA, ON - There’s nothing like a centennial to get the party started! Not only is this year’s Canadian Produce Marketing Association’s 2025 Annual Convention and Trade Show (CPMA 2025 Fresh Week) 90 percent sold out as of June 26, but the non-profit organization will also be celebrating its 100-year anniversary.

“We are looking forward to reconnecting with industry members once again in Montreal,” says Ron Lemaire, CPMA President. “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.”

A press release stated that due to the 90 percent sell-out, the remaining space will be on sale on a first-come, first-serve basis. The event will host more than 300 companies at over 650 booths, comprised of major growers, importers, and exporters from around the world.

Concurrent events include the New Produce Showcase program which introduces innovative products to the market, as well as an Innovation Zone that will feature cutting-edge technology, products, and services. Speaker sessions will be held with industry experts, along with social evenings for networking opportunities and connecting with peers.

The CPMA Annual Convention and Trade Show brings together attendees from the entire produce supply chain and buy-side, from farm gate to dinner plate, each year. It is also Canada’s largest produce industry event!

CPMA 2025 Fresh Week will take place April 8-10, 2025, in Montreal, Quebec, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. Exhibitor info and opportunities can be found on the event’s website here.
