COMING IN 2023…

The AFGC runs a suite of regular and in-demand, benefit-driven events during the year to keep industry professionals up to date with the latest industry insights and directions, personal and professional skills development and workplace training.

Our open events provide a platform for our members, retailers and industry stakeholders to discuss issues of vital importance to our industry. We also hold exclusive, member-only events that help improve business growth and profitability. This includes invitation-only events that open dialogue between government, regulators and industry to examine and create alignment on major issues.

Attending just two-to-three events a year offers members a return of over $3,500 on their annual membership investment.

International Women's Day

Each year, the AFGC celebrates International Women’s Day, sharing the achievements of women in our industry, insights on future-proofing through female-inspired business innovations, and mark the call to action for accelerating inclusivity- and equality-building.
