MEET THE TEAM

Meet the team behind Canadian Dairy XPO, Canada’s leading dairy industry event. Our team brings together experience in agriculture, event management, and industry partnerships to create a show that delivers real value for exhibitors and attendees alike.


At the core of everything we do is a shared Pride in Dairy — a commitment to the people, the progress, and the strong sense of community that drive the industry forward. That pride is reflected in the relationships we build, the opportunities we create, and the environment we foster at CDX, where meaningful conversations happen, new ideas are introduced, and the future of dairy continues to take shape.
