Conference season is back! Kicking things off this month is the newly branded Global Produce & Floral Show that the Vanguard team is excited to be in attendance. Formally known by industry veterans as the PMA, The Global Produce & Floral Show takes place October 27-29th in Orlando, Florida.
“The Global Produce & Floral Show is not a new name for a familiar event,” said IFPA CEO, Cathy Burns. “When we brought together the two most influential associations for our industry to create a new organization, it wasn’t just about doing more, it was about transforming the industry. The Global Produce & Floral Show will be the epicenter of industry innovation and connection, and it will be where our industry voice is galvanized to take on the challenges we face and take up the opportunities ahead of us.”
October 27th will kick off with the Fresh Ideas Showcase, where attendees can see the latest innovations, products and services launched in the last year. Sections include:
