Waiting For XPO Live – 2022 CDX Deferred To 2023 CDX

The information below has been supplied by dairy marketers and other industry organizations. It has not been edited, verified or endorsed by Hoard’s Dairyman.

The management at CDX along with Steering Committee made up of exhibitors, sponsors, producers, vets and AG marketers have made the very tough decision to cancel the CDX 2022 and defer to April, 2023.

This decision has come with the following factors in mind:

Provincial government restrictions as of today prevent CDX from operating
International travel restrictions for out of country exhibitors
Corporate policies restricting travel/participation in trade shows for 2022
Vast uncertainty of government restrictions between now and April 2022
CDX 2022 current requirement to inject non-recoverable funds to plan/promote

“We are disappointed and broken-hearted to defer the XPO to 2023, we were planning for a safe in person return this year but have found no other option but to cancel the nearly sold out 2022 CDX. Our goal is to protect the Canadian Dairy XPO for both exhibiting/sponsoring companies and attending Canadian dairy farm families. We plan to take this extra time to extensively plan for the 2023 XPO and come back stronger than ever, as we will not be operating a virtual XPO in 2022.” The next operation dates of CDX will be planned for April 5-6, 2023 LIVE!” Says President & Founder Jordon Underhill.

In lieu of CDX this year, we have launched the “CDX Milk House Calendar”. Moving forward this calendar will become an annual project that will run April to April (CDX calendar year), and can be found in the April edition of Milk Producer magazine. We are currently running a contest on our CDX Facebook page to find photos for each month from industry professionals and producers. Please visit the CDX page to learn more about how your best photo can appear in our calendar and a chance to WIN family pack tickets for the 2023 CDX.

We have heard loud and clear from dairy producers - once we overcome COVID, there will be an immediate need for producers to re-connect with each other, industry and innovation. We sincerely thank the industry and producers that have shown immense support for the CDX project over these unprecedented times. The encouragement has been both overwhelming and inspiring.
