2023 Theme : Growing Strong!

We can all agree these last two years have brought change like no other. One fortunate thing is we have the opportunity once again in October for inspiration, cutting-edge education, and connection by participating in Provender’s Annual Educational Conference.

Real People, Real Connections

We all got into the natural foods trade not just to make a living but to make a difference and make the world a better place. Independent integrity matters for a healthy, just, and sustainable food system for our precious planet’s future. These ideas are the foundation that our community is built upon. It is so good to see familiar faces and find fresh connections after we’ve been so isolated.  At the Conference you can look forward to connecting with long-time friends and making new ones. Socializing opportunities begin Wednesday evening with a Happy Hour as a great way to roll into conference mode, then continue through our famous Meet Your Makers event, and on to live music (very live) on Friday evening.  Don’t forget to visit the Sample Room!

Conference Keynotes and Workshops
This year’s theme is “Growing Strong” We’ve got a fantastic line-up of keynote speakers and workshops for you.  We’re able to bring in presenters from the Pacific Northwest and beyond, on topics that are relevant to present-day circumstances and to the future well-being of our planet.  Registration open now!
