BERLIN, GERMANY – With our industry friends having closed out Fruit Logistica across the pond, reports are already rolling into those of us that were state-side of the connections made, and opportunities experienced.

One of the noted events held within the larger exposition was United Fresh’s Global Reception. As Jeff Oberman, Vice President of Trade Relations for United Fresh, took the time to share with me, the gathering was ripe with global good cheer and ideal networking instances.

“In the midst of this international gathering, attendees of the United Fresh Global Reception enjoyed catching up with old friends and business associates,” Jeff tells me. “Throughout the show, our staff team enjoyed fostering new partnerships and solutions between our member companies in attendance.”

Over 150 United Fresh members gathered for the annual reception, providing a relaxing break at the end of the day for members from around global supply chain to mingle and meet.

“The United Fresh booth, member hotel block, and reception provide value to our members in North America a ‘home away from home,’ when attending Fruit Logistica,” Jeff added.

John Toner, Vice President, Convention and Industry Collaboration shared that he received tremendous feedback in Berlin from attendees who were “looking ahead to United Fresh 2017 in Chicago this summer from June 13-15 for its own exciting offerings. Attendees and exhibitors can look forward to the new FreshMKT, FreshTEC, Global Cold Chain, and International Floriculture Expositions,” John said.
