2012 PEI Buyers Market January 20th & 21st

Presented by Innovation PEI and the government of Prince Edward Island, the PEI Craft and Giftware Buyers’ Market is an annual two-day event that brings retailers and producers together. Held early in the New Year, it’s an opportunity for retailers who engage in wholesale trade to source new and favourite Island crafts and giftware for the upcoming season. Seminars and networking opportunities are also a big part of this event that welcomes retailers from on-Island and off.

The buyers market this year takes place at the Delta Prince Edward. The event kicks off this Friday, January 20th at 10:30am with a seminar by John Rowe, President and owner/operator of Island Abbey Foods Ltd. Following the hour-long seminar, there will be a luncheon for all retailers and producers. The buyers market will open at 1pm and run until 7pm.

Saturday, January 21st there will be a breakfast seminar from 9-10am with Dave Cormier, manager of web communications and innovation at UPEI. The buyers market will run from 10am-4pm on Satuday.
