“We held our semi-annual meeting of all managers across Canada at the Cold Chain Expo last year,” said Greg Laurin, Conestoga Cold Storage president and 2019 Education Advisory Council member. “We brought everyone together to accomplish our own company objectives and capitalize on the quality education that GCCA had programmed during the two-and-a-half-day conference at the expo.

“GCCA also helped us with meeting logistics and provided complimentary meeting space for our company meetings, making it easy on us from a planning perspective. I encourage all IARW warehouse members to consider hosting your management meeting at the Expo.”
