CGC goes virtual for 2020

Event organizers have announced their decision to cancel the show's trade show component and offer a select number of virtual speaker sessions this fall.

"The cancellation of the physical conference is disappointing, but it had become apparent that the CGC would not be able to provide the robust conference experience that growers, exhibitors, and speakers have come to expect over the show's 40-year history, nor could we assure a healthy and safe environment," says Steve Droog, CGC Board Chair.

Originally planned for October 7-8, 2020 at the Scotiabank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls, Ontario, organizers have decided to table the majority of their speaker sessions for 2020. While not a replacement for the 2020 conference, the virtual program, slated for the original conference dates, will provide support for growers and the industry with timely, innovative information.

This year's conference theme, "Beyond 2020," is all the more appropriate as the CGC looks forward to hosting members of the greenhouse community in person again in 2021. More details on this year's virtual program will be released here as they become available.

The Canadian Greenhouse Conference typically attracts controlled-environment growers from across North America, gathers experts from around the world, and showcases innovative production techniques, research, products, and technology.
