Strathcona County, along with Connect for Food, are thrilled to present the 2025 Agrifood Connector, Monday, November 3, at Festival Place.
The day will bring together 
food producers, processors, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, restaurateurs, equipment suppliers, financiers, and marketers 
to connect and grow.
We are pleased to present our keynote speaker, 
Sanford Gleddie, The Little Potato Company Executive VP Sales, Marketing & Business Development
,
 
who will discuss 
Small Potatoes, Big Realities: Lessons from Little Potato Company Journey.
The day features the following Connect for Food activities:
A 
producer, processor, distributor, broker, and restauranteur
, to explore what’s holding back supply-demand connections and how to build a more resilient, collaborative system.
Key panel discussion questions will explore:
Where the biggest disconnects are in getting local food to market
How partnerships, infrastructure, and policy can strengthen the value chain
What practical steps could support scaling up, coordination & lasting regional impacts
A dynamic, fast-paced round-table session designed to spark real connections across the agrifood supply chain. Participants—producers, processors, buyers, and sellers—share a clear 
offer
 or 
ask 
with rotating groups representing different points along the supply-demand spectrum. The format emphasizes clarity, efficiency, and practical next steps to strengthen the local food economy.
Be clear. Be bold. Be heard.
Come prepared. Leave connected.
A curated selection of businesses, institutions, and organizations working across the agrifood sector. Showcase participants will hold a display table to share their work with others in the food economy, sparking connections and inspiration throughout the day.
The 2025 Agrifood Connector is focused on high level outcomes:
Ample networking opportunities, both structured and unstructured, will be incorporated to make meaningful connections. Locally-sourced fare will be served throughout the day.
Building on the Connect for Food Roundtable discussions in Strathcona County in April 2025, this event will be a catalyst to shift toward a more resilient food system model, rooted in improved supply-demand connections that ensure locally sourced products are reaching consumers.
Bring your business cards. Bring your curiosity. Let’s build something local together.
