“Wrapping up a great week with the Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) in Montreal. An amazing time reconnecting with outstanding industry professionals and team members. Can’t wait for Toronto ‘23 #cpma2023.”
Michael Wexler, Senior Sales Representative, Oppy

“It has been a while since we've attended an industry trade show and we were so happy to be able to meet face to face again in Montreal over the past few days. Not only was it great to see everyone but we were reminded of how amazing our industry is and how grateful we are to work alongside such dedicated individuals.

Thank you Montreal for being an amazing host city, the Palais des congrès de Montréal for your great venue, and the Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) for organizing this event. We return home reinvigorated and motivated to keep pace with the best in the industry.”
