What lessons learned from previous Halal Expos will you be implementing for 2023?

Based on feedback from previous Halal Expos, the organizers of Halal Expo Canada 2023 have made several changes and improvements to enhance the experience for attendees.

Some of the key lessons learned from previous events that will be implemented this year include:

Partnering with more local and international media partners: To expand the reach of the event and attract more attendees, Halal Expo Canada 2023 has partnered with more local and international media partners such as Grocery Business, Western Grocer, HalalWeekly, and EgyExporter. These partnerships help promote the event to a wider audience and provide more exposure for participating exhibitors.

Focusing the conference on educating mainstream retailers on Halal: One of the key themes for Halal Expo Canada 2023 is to educate mainstream retailers on the Halal industry. This is in response to feedback from previous events that indicated a need for more education on Halal for non-Halal businesses looking to enter the industry. The conference will also be relevant for new businesses looking to explore opportunities in the Halal market.

Reducing the duration of the show to two days: Based on feedback from previous events, the organizers have decided to make Halal Expo Canada 2023 a two-day show instead of three days. This change is aimed at attracting a more targeted audience of industry professionals who can attend the event without taking too much time away from their business operations.

Overall, Halal Expo Canada 2023 promises to be an exciting and informative event for anyone interested in the Halal industry. With a range of exhibitors, international pavilions, and expert speakers, attendees can expect to learn about the latest trends and innovations in Halal products and services, as well as connect with like-minded professionals and businesses.
