The California Connection
Gather California 2025
September 21 – September 23, 2025
The Westin Rancho Mirage Resort
Gather California is the bold new identity for CGA’s signature annual convention. Our new brand celebrates the CGA conference’s unique role in bringing together California’s grocery industry to build new relationships and learn about emerging trends.
Attracting upwards of 800 grocery executives, each year, CGA schedules more than 1,000 in-person meetings, linking retailers to suppliers with a concierge level of service.
A Fresh Perspective
When attendees are not in private meetings, the conference will focus on unlocking the emerging trends that are driving California’s dynamic grocery industry—the very trends that set the pace for the rest of the country. This educational component compliments the in-person meetings by stimulating how one understands the big-picture dynamics shaping the industry in California.
With our new, refreshed model, Gather California will emphasize formal and informal opportunities to connect and build relationships during the conference.

Lock in Your Sponsorship
Offering one-of-a-kind access to the country’s largest grocery retail community, Gather California is a can’t-miss event to make meaningful connections with executives, senior management, procurement teams, and professionals from throughout the grocery industry.
In order to maintain its effectiveness for all conference participants, sponsorship opportunities are limited.
