WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR

Welcome to the 37th Edition of Grocery & Specialty Food West–Grocery Redefined! Held over two days, April 21–22, 2026, at the Vancouver Convention Centre, this event promises even more innovation, insights, and connections for the grocery sector.

Tuesday morning’s conference sessions will forecast the grocery industry’s largest opportunities and challenges. First, Carman Allison of NielsenIQ will provide insights into navigating wellness goals in a wallet-first world. Next, Stewart Samuel of IGD will look at the next chapter of prepared foods and how retailers can drive growth in smarter prepared foods.

In the afternoon, the exhibition features hundreds of innovations from across Canada and around the world, covering everything from equipment and technology to sustainable offerings, specialty foods, and more. There will also be interactive educational workshops during trade show hours at the Federated Insurance Insights & Innovations Stage, covering topics such as AI, staffing, and consumer behaviour.

Morning workshops will feature topics of importance for grocers, including a panel discussion with myself and Giancarlo Trimarchi of Vince’s Market about how the Grocery Code of Conduct has already helped independents.

GSF is the only show that offers face-to-face meetings with grocers through the Category Connect program. Along with this structured meeting program, attendees can also network at free events, including the Monday Opening Reception and the lively Tuesday Mix ‘N Mingle on the trade show floor after the first day concludes.

If you’re not a member, be sure to come talk to us about the benefits of joining the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers at our booth at the entrance to the trade show.

We look forward to welcoming you to two incredible days of learning, networking, and discovery.

See you in Vancouver!
