Guelph Organic Conference Sponsorship

Sponsor the 45th 2026 Guelph Organic Conference

Join Canada’s longest-running organic gathering on Jan 27–28, 2026 at the Guelph Farmers’ Market and 10C Shared Space in Downtown Guelph.

Your sponsorship powers the conference program and year-round advocacy for Ontario’s organic farms and businesses.

Attendance and venue

Last year’s show welcomed 700+ visitors. This year we are in a smaller venue that is easier to access and right in the heart of downtown Guelph at the Guelph Farmers’ Market. We estimate 500+ visitors across the two days.

Social Media Reach

You will reach an engaged audience of producers, value-chain companies, eaters, associations, and researchers, with 18k+ audience reach, 14k+ social followers, and 4,000+ eNews subscribers.

All sponsors receive recognition on the GOC website, OCO eNews, and social media channels.

Benefits scale by level and may include a tradeshow booth, VIP passes, speaking opportunities, signage, and custom marketing. In-kind contributions can offset fees.

Custom sponsorship opportunities

Have an idea of your own? We are open to co-creating something that fits your brand and serves the community. Past partners have hosted poster sessions, invited a guest speaker, sponsored a buyer roundtable, created a product tasting, or led a hands-on demo. Just like in nature, collaboration leads to better outcomes!

Key notes

VIP Conference Pass includes access to conference sessions and the Reception Dinner.
Benefits are subject to availability and event timelines. We will coordinate details with you after checkout.
