"Beyond Products in Agriculture"

The Mission of Beyond Products in Agriculture event is to prepare and support agri-food marketers, communicators and industry professionals as traditional ideas of agri-food are being challenged to live alongside, and hopefully flourish, as ‘beyond products’ further enter the marketplace and the consumers’ conscience.

This professional development event will focus on how Canada’s food system is adapting, specifically within the marketing and positioning of food—consumer messaging, how to position for now and the future, new opportunities and synergies, innovation, and where the trends will take us all.

This full-day event will take place on Wednesday, October 5^th at the Fairmont Winnipeg from 8:00am to 3:00pm, with an anticipated 75+ agri-food marketers, communicators and industry professionals in attendance. This is a national event that can be attended both in-person or virtual.
