WASHINGTON, D.C. – United Fresh Produce Association has announced a new, member exclusive All Access Education Package for 2019. The package offers members access to three core annual events with the convenience of a single registration.
“We’re pleased to offer this streamlined approach to registration for our members,” said United Fresh’s Vice President of Member Services Miriam Wolk. “We know how busy our members are, and it’s our job to ensure that we’re providing easy access to our events that provide professional growth and opportunity for the whole industry.”
Members can use the All Access registration in several ways. Individuals can purchase the package for their own registrations for the three core events. Rather than having to remember to register each time, United Fresh will take care of pre-registering individuals for each event automatically, saving time and effort on their behalf.
A great alternative is for a member company to purchase one or more packages, dividing the registrations as needed across multiple people and programs. This allows companies to provide professional development opportunities to multiple employees throughout the year. They also can choose to share these registrations with their customers or industry partners.
The 2019 All Access Education Package includes:
-
FreshStart 2019 (January 15-17, La Quinta, CA)
