After a highly successful Quebec Grower Summit last year, the ACT group, a collaboration of four providers and industry partners, will return to the province to host a second Quebec Grower Summit on Monday, Sept. 23, 2024. The half-day, in-person grower summit, hosted by Grodan, Philips LED Lighting, Priva, and Svensson, will be held at the Sheraton Saint-Hyacinthe Hotel. 

This year’s summit theme is Optimizing Greenhouse Production in Cold Climates: Challenges, Solutions, and Opportunities. The event will delve into critical topics to help greenhouse growers optimize their greenhouse production with content tailored for Quebec’s colder climates. Growers will learn comprehensive screening strategies for:

  • Irrigation strategies
  • Root zone management
  • Total climate control
  • Transitioning from HPS to LED lighting

Additionally, attendees will gain insights into:

  • Improving plant health during the cold, cloudy, and snowy Quebec winters
  • Maximizing energy efficiency
  • Preparing for upcoming provincial legislation

Greenhouse expert, Philippe-Antoine Taillon, from the Ministère de l’Agriculture (Ministry of Agriculture), will provide an update on legislative changes affecting greenhouse and farming operations, and greenhouse consultant, Sébastien Couture, will serve as event emcee.
