The Canadian Greenhouse Conference is celebrating its 40th anniversary! Forty years is quite a legacy, and the CGC is proud to continue to support the greenhouse industry with an event that educates and inspires. Over the years, the conference has witnessed incredible changes in operation size, crops, regulations, production techniques, pest management, technology and consumer preferences. The CGC continues to adapt to such changes in order to best meet the needs of the Canadian grower. This could not be accomplished without solid support from industry partners and growers. The CGC relies on participation and input from business and government representatives, growers, educators and researchers in the planning and delivery of each conference. Thank you to all for making the Canadian Greenhouse Conference an important part of your business and the greater grower community. ENGAGE. ENVISION. EVOLVE.

No doubt, technology and science hold the answers – but it will be people with imagination, creativity and a willingness to collaborate that lead the charge. To engage, envision and evolve. Celebrate with us. There are special events planned, giveaways and a brand-new event to close the show. This year’s conference hosts the largest tradeshow to date.
