There's a lot of energy in the air in Las Vegas, and it seems to have rubbed off on the FreshTech show. Or, maybe it is the combination of conference sessions, Fresh Marketplace, FMI, and special events that give this year's show a special pizzazz. Show attendees today seemed to be enjoying the overall venue, and were happy with the Las Vegas choice for next year as well. From an exhibitor point of view, equipment staging and booth services went smoothly, although we heard about a few freight delivery hiccups from others. We saw a number of visitors from outside the United States, with Canada, Belgium, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil and Mexico represented. FreshTech proved a good place to be on this Cinco de Mayo! More show updates tomorrow, and if you also attended, let us know what you think about the value of the show this year.

United Fresh Show
While I wait patiently to get those seeds going in the garden, we're just finishing preparations for the United Fresh show in Las Vegas next week. This is an event I look forward to each year, and yes, although I like to show off the new solutions we've developed and talk about our successes, the real draw for me is the people. I'll see folks I've met before, make some new acquaintances, and discuss current issues with all. Yep, I'll enjoy the Las Vegas location, too. I think United Fresh continues to work to improve the value of this show, and we'll get a chance to assess how effective they are this year. The reorganization they've just announced seems a bit confusing at first glance, but sounds like a way to improve focus in specific areas. Do you think this is a positive move forward? Or will the multiple groups be too difficult to manage and result in a fractured decision process? I hope to see you at the show, but if you can't make it, stay tuned for the posts next week, and let me know if they are helpful.
