Our objective is to provide an intensive Seminar experience that you can transform into profitable results. Presentations will develop the major Topics of: Packaging; Logistics & Cold Chain Issues; and Food Safety, Tracking & Traceability. Panel sessions anchored in real-world applications and science-based insight will provide a deeper dive into issues as well. In this interactive environment, you will have the opportunity to engage with fellow professionals and experts in their fields, sharpening your skill-set, and benefiting from the wisdom of experience. This is where technical know-how and the evaluation of fresh packaging trends meet, and you can derive valuable takeaways for your business.
FreshPACKmoves will also feature a workshop Solutions Panel – basically, a lively forum for discussion that will delve into specific questions and challenges shared by Seminar attendees. So, bring those ‘difficult issues’, and our panelists will help you find a way forward!
And, the Seminar wouldn’t be complete without our Field Tours of major grower/packer/shipper operations in the Salinas area. These boots-on-the-ground tours and demonstrations are sure to deliver valuable lessons for all participants.
