National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Convention Slated for October 19-22 in San Diego, CA
Harrisburg, PA – The 2013 National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Convention, provides a unique opportunity for frozen and refrigerated food industry executives to conduct one-on-one business meetings with dozens of customers in just a few days. This event hosted by the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA) will take place on October 19-22, at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.
The NFRA Convention is designed to bring together leading companies from every segment of the industry in one venue to conduct more business in less time. NFRA provides its retailer members with complimentary meeting rooms so they may hold appointments throughout the convention. Last year’s event brought together over 1,300 attendees to network and conduct business.
From beginning to end, the convention is structured to help attendees make valuable connections. The event kicks off with the popular Taste of Excellence Reception on Sunday, October 20, where frozen and refrigerated food manufacturers can showcase their latest products. The Taste of Excellence allows delegates the opportunity to interact with industry colleagues while sampling the newest items in frozen and refrigerated foods.
This year’s agenda features Monday morning breakfast speaker Karl Rove, political strategist and former Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush. During Tuesday’s breakfast session, Ronnie Lott, former San Francisco 49er defensive back and 2000 Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductee, will address attendees.
Closing the convention on Tuesday, a special Awards Reception & Banquet will honor several top contributors to the refrigerated food industry as the newest inductees into the Refrigerated Food Hall of Fame. The evening will also recognize the 2013 Golden Penguin winners for March Frozen Food Month, June Dairy Month and June/July Ice Cream & Novelties promotions.
