Keynote Session:

Bradley Fitzhenry

Everyone in the produce industry wants to sell more product, from growers to shippers to retailers. Join us for Tuesday’s keynote session when Bradley Fitzhenry, Brand Manager at MJR Creative Group, shows a new approach to produce sales and marketing. Whether consumers are shopping through traditional means such as print media and brick-and-mortar stores or through social media and their smartphones, produce sellers have to be there, and Fitzhenry will discuss how to do this.

General Session:

Traditional retailers know the competition isn’t just the grocery store down the block or across town. It’s everywhere consumers buy. Increasingly this is being done online, even for food. In this general session, a panel of retail and produce experts, including CH Robinson, examine this supply chain trend and how produce retailers can adjust to it.
