Produce Marketing Association

A new way to connect with your global community — right your own backyard

• Hear from and engage with prominent PMA experts speaking on a range of industry and business topics
• Expand your network of contacts
• Gather the ideas and strategies you need to keep your business going strong
• Learn about important PMA programs and services to get the most from your membership investment
• Save time out of the office and travel costs

What are Fresh Connections events?

To begin, they are bottom-line and schedule friendly.

PMA recognizes that while most industry professionals would like to travel to industry events to network and stay fresh on industry issues, the reality is that work demands, budget constraints, and administrative approvals often keep you from leaving your offices.

Fresh Connections events are an easy solution. These events serve as an easy way for you and your colleagues to network and engage with your community and stay on top of issues and trends impacting your business, and you can do it with just a few hours out of the office. The events are designed to save you the cost of days of travel and time from the office.

A face-to-face opportunity to meet and hear from our members

PMA’s Fresh Connections events also provide another important opportunity: they’re a way for PMA to hear from our members about the challenges and concerns keeping you up at night, and identify potential solutions for how the association can address these issues.

Fresh Connections are also great opportunities for prospective members to learn about the benefits of PMA membership and meet our global community. We encourage you to invite a potential member to an upcoming event!

At Fresh Connections, PMA experts discuss key topics such as:

• Supply Chain Efficiencies such as Traceability
• Food Safety & Crisis Management
• Sales & Marketing Topics
• Consumer & Industry Trends
• Global Economic Outlook
• Legislative and Regulatory Outlook

PMA Fresh Connections events are another innovative way we’re helping you stay connected to the people and the information that matter most.
