We are thrilled to introduce the all-new East Coast Produce Expo - formerly GOPEX - taking place in January at the JW Marriot Turnberry Resort & Spa in Aventura, Florida. The first fresh produce event of the year, ECPE will retain the intimate vibe that past attendees value while delivering a platform where industry leaders gather to set strategy, form partnerships and engage with the latest innovations shaping the fresh produce market.

Here's why ECPE 2026 is an event you can't afford to miss: 

• Real Connections - ECPE's BizMatch program, trade show and networking events like the golf tournament, are built to inspire meaningful conversation and collaboration, ensuring exhibitors and buyers leave with real business opportunities - not just introductions. 
• Set the Strategy - ECPE 2026 will offer an exclusive first look at The Packer and Farm Journal's most comprehensive Fresh Trends Consumer Report to date, including analysis of what the date means to your business and how the industry can leverage the report's insights to grow in the year ahead and beyond. 
• Regional Focus, National Relevance - ECPE brings together decision-makers from across the East Coast's unique sourcing, distribution, retail and foodservice landscapes, while the presence of national buyers ensures broad exposure and business growth beyond the region. 
• Solutions-Driven Agenda - Every aspect of the ECPE agenda is designed to deliver the actionable insights, essential tools and relationships that drive success in the fresh produce industry. 

Come join us to kick off the start of 2026!
