Stenzel and Coupe to speak at NEPC expo
Tom Stenzel and Kevin Coupe will be the featured speakers at the New England Produce Council's 17th annual Produce, Floral & Foodservice Expo, scheduled to take place Sept. 21-23 at the Ocean Edge Resort & Gold Club on Cape Cod, MA.
Tom Stenzel
Stenzel, president and chief executive officer of the United Fresh Produce Association, will deliver the keynote address at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21. The full details of his presentation will be announced in a few weeks, but one of his topics will be ethnic marketing, NEPC Executive Director Laura Sullivan told The Produce News April 19.
Kevin Coupe
Coupe, a food industry expert, journalist and author who spoke at last year's NEPC expo, will facilitate a consumer and industry expert panel right after Stenzel's remarks.
A VIP reception will take place Wednesday evening, leading into what has quickly become a signature highlight at the NEPC expo: a Cape Cod style clambake.
The big event Thursday is the expo, which will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. "I anticipate about 130 booths at this year's expo," which is about the maximum that the facility can accommodate, said Sullivan. The expo will be followed by the Sunset Sail Cruise, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
On Friday, attendees may take advantage of a number of activities on the cape, such as golf, fishing, whale watching, spa treatments and shopping.
