The Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable and Farm Market Expo (GLEXPO) is a premier conference for fruit, vegetable, horticulture and farmer market growers to see and learn about all of the latest research and innovations in farming. The GLEXPO board along with Michigan State University Extension hosts a variety of educational sessions and discussions to further the knowledge and resources growers need to be competitive in today’s markets. The 2025 GLEXPO will be Dec. 9-11 at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The GLEXPO organizers and Michigan State University Extension would like your ideas as we plan future education sessions. We want to hear from growers and industry members about ideas for topics and speakers that you think would be of value to your farming operations as well as other growers. To facilitate this endeavor, the Great Lakes Expo board has created a fillable online form. Ideas can be submitted year-round via the online form. For ideas to be considered for inclusion in the 2025 education program, they must be submitted by June 10, 2025.
