The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) has opened registration for the annual Global Produce and Floral Show, which will be held Oct. 17-19 in Atlanta.
“I’m always excited to see how this show evolves to meet the needs of our members and our industry,” said Global Show co-chair Nelia Alamo of Markon. “Just one example is that this year, we are including the Women’s Fresh Perspectives Breakfast in the all-access registration option, making it a central part of the education and networking lineup – no extra ticket needed! Upgrades like this plus the connections to people, insights, products, and solutions is what makes the global show a can’t-miss event.”
New this year is the Women’s Fresh Perspectives Breakfast, which features a general session speaker and recognition of the Frieda Rapoport Caplan Women’s Catalyst Award winner. To attend, you won’t require additional registration.
The event, dedicated to supporting and advancing women in the industry, is open to all attendees with the all-access pass, promoting inclusivity and diversity in our industry.
Keynote speakers include IFPA CEO Cathy Burns, who will deliver a State of the Industry address and several learning sessions on the expo floor.
“The Global Produce & Floral Show, the industry’s most significant event, offers a platform for our members and exhibitors to showcase their latest innovations and freshest products. It’s a hub for identifying new connections, insights, or opportunities to strengthen businesses and our supply chain. This show caters to everyone in the fresh produce and floral industry, from senior executives to marketing and sales professionals to those with oversight of operations and technology implementation. If you’re a part of the global food and floral system, the Global Show is where you belong.”
More than 20,000 people attend the global show, including more than 3,000 buyers and over 1,000 exhibitors.
“As a buyer, I really enjoy seeing the new products and services I find at the expo,” said co-chair Paul Kneeland of Gelson’s Markets. “This is the place everyone finds solutions to problems and new ideas to drive strategy and action for a more powerful future. I’d encourage everyone to register for the global show, and I look forward to meeting them!”
Exhibitor registration will open on June 25, but individual and group registration is available now.
