From the Ground Up 2024 Trade Show

Good to Grow’s 6th annual From The Ground Up Trade Show is back on May 9, 2024 in the PNE Forum, Vancouver. From the Ground Up is the only 100% B.C. trade show connecting our local brands to multiple market channels.

Our 2023 show was a fantastic success. Join us this year for an even bigger show as we grow from 68 to 80+ exhibitors!

Exhibitors are all companies with products grown, made, or packed in B.C. and include new, emerging, and established B.C. food and beverage companies to ensure there is something for every attendee!

From the newest local brands to established companies that have been in the family for generations and every stage in between. We understand each market channel has different needs and we have you covered.

New this year is our Sustainability Corner with six B.C. sustainability-focused organizations that are addressing a challenge in the food and beverage industry.

Parking on-site is free!
