Looking Back at Conferences and Trade Shows: Key Events for Innovation and Knowledge Sharing
In early winter 2025, several events dedicated to maple syrup producers took place across Quebec, Ontario, and the United States. These gatherings, organized in collaboration with various industry partners, brought together producers and experts to exchange ideas on technological advancements, environmental challenges, and innovative practices to ensure the sector’s longterm sustainability. They provided valuable opportunities to share expertise and discuss current and future issues in the maple industry.
IN QUEBEC
The Maple Syrup Days organized by the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ) covered key topics for the maple industry, including tapping practices and their long-term impacts, equipment optimization to improve energy efficiency and profitability, and environmental issues related to resource management and climate change. Experts shared concrete solutions to minimize the ecological footprint of sugar bushes, and various financial assistance programs were presented to encourage the adoption of sustainable practices.
IN ONTARIO
Parallel to the events in Quebec, the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers Association (OMSPA) hosted its regional information days. These meetings in various parts of Ontario provided producers access to specialized presentations, market trend updates, and networking opportunities. CDL was proud to attend these events with an interactive booth where visitors discovered the latest innovations in maple syrup production and engaged with our regional representatives. A prize wheel added a fun element to the experience, offering participants discount coupons that were valid in-store.
IN THE UNITED-STATES
Our presence extended beyond Quebec and Ontario. CDL also participated in similar events in the United States, reaffirming our commitment to the North American maple syrup community. These gatherings offered an ideal platform to connect with American producers, present our cutting-edge technologies, and discuss solutions tailored to their needs.
Thanks to the rich content of the conferences, the quality of the interactions, and the numerous demonstrations offered, the 2025 Maple Production Days organized by MAPAQ and the events in Ontario and the United States confirmed their essential role in industry development. CDL is proud to have participated in these key events!
