Welcome to the 20th North American Mushroom Conference in spectacular Niagara Falls, Canada. Every room in the NAMC room block at the Sheraton Fallsview hotel overlooks the Horseshoe Falls.

The program features 12 outstanding authorities covering topics such as Phase II and III bulk systems, crisis management, marketing and strategic planning, agri-food and health, odour measurement and control, the changing face of agriculture, biopharmaceuticals and alternative sources of energy.

Plan to visit 28 of your major suppliers in the EXPO hall during breakfast, lunch and dedicated EXPO hours on Monday and Tuesday.

May is blossom time at Niagara! So bring your partner for a winery tour, shopping at quaint Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Butterfly Museum, or maybe, a wet ride under the falls.

Finally, wind-down at the Gala Party in the Element-on-the-Falls Restaurant and Grand Hall right next to the Falls.

Combine business, entertainment, great food and spectacular scenery. What an opportunity! Maybe even a second honeymoon.
