"The heart of SWIPE is the fresh produce industry. From the show floor to the golf course to the networking events, the event offers endless opportunities to get involved, make connections, and grow your business," says Lance Jungmeyer, FPAA president. "With SWIPE's new timing in January, this meeting is not only more convenient, it offers a great, sunny escape from the winter doldrums."
With networking, education, and a showcase of the freshest innovations in produce, the event brings together those in the business in a unique setting.
