Booth Allocation and Priority Process
Given the strong demand for CPMA 2027, a priority system has been established to ensure a fair allocation of booth spaces and facilitate planning for the Quebec Pavilion.
- First priority group: Companies that responded to the survey and confirmed their interest in participating in the Quebec Pavilion. Within this group, corner booth allocation will take previous participation in the show into consideration.
- Second priority group: Other companies that have participated in previous editions of CPMA.
Please note that registrations submitted before a company’s designated priority period will only be considered once the companies in the preceding priority group have been confirmed.

Cancellation Policy
Groupe Export Agri-Food is a non-profit organization that manages export financial programs from the Ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation du Québec and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. As a government program manager, Groupe Export has defined a general cancellation policy to follow when participating in a trade show. Policy’s details are as follows: When a participation or registration form is signed by a representative of a company, this company becomes liable to Groupe Export Agri-Food, as this form is a contract between the company and the Association.
- In the five days following registration, the company must pay, as a deposit, 50% of participation fees. This amount can be paid by check, direct deposit or credit card by contacting Groupe Export’s financial department at 450-649-6266. Direct deposits are preferred.
- The remaining 50% of participation fees must be paid at least 60 days before the activity.
- If the company does not respect these terms, Groupe Export Agri-Food has the right to cancel the company’s participation.
- When a company is cancelling its participation:
→ If the company or Groupe Export Agri-Food finds a replacing participant, the full amount will be reimbursed, except for a $200 administration fee, as soon as a replacing participant has paid in full the amount due.
→ In case a substitute cannot be found, all other incurred charges, including 100% of the invoice for a space reservation, would be charged to the company.
→ All cancellation requests must be made in writing and be addressed to the person in charge of the activity, whose name appears on the participation form. This policy was ratified by Groupe Export’s Board of Directors on February 14, 2008.
