Attendee Testimonials

"The show was definitely worthwhile. We came away with numerous ideas, better educated, and motivated to build our local offerings in the campuses we operate. I believe we have connected with over a dozen vendors from the show. We’re looking forward to next year’s bigger and better show.”

Some More Great Things Attendees Have Said...

This year’s From The Ground Up trade show continued to exceed expectations. Bigger and better in 2023, we found great value in attending. There is not a single trade show that we attend that we find as many future partnerships as when we attend the FTGU show. It is important to us to support local food businesses and it is such a great opportunity to find so many under one roof!

UBC Food Services

"As a first-time attendee of the Good to Grow show, I was thoroughly impressed by the variety of vendors. My team and I attended looking for new products to bring to our menus and were also delighted to see some of our favourite current vendors there as well. It was a time saver to be able to taste a wide range of new products all in one place.”

Fresh Prep

"I attended the From the Ground Up Trade Show in Vancouver. I found the event valuable, informative and I was able to connect with local brands across multiple sectors. I was very impressed with the beverage category, as well as, Plant based protein and Alternatives that we could integrate into our campus menu and curriculum. "

Thank you for always putting on a professional and much needed venue for up and coming entrepreneurs in B.C. We at Georgia Main Food Group get great value in attending and are already in the process of getting many of the products shown into our system. It was also gratifying to see some old friends as well that we have brought in continue to succeed beyond our stores at the event too."
