They’re Not Produce Events. They’re “Experiences.”
Each year, we strive to curate an impactful series of industry programs and networking events for our members.
In addition to facilitating your introduction to decision-makers and thought leaders from across the nation, we strive to keep you abreast of the latest developments in produce—whether those are happening in the soil, in the cloud, or anywhere in between. And of course, the entertainment we curate keeps people talking throughout the year.
We invite you to learn more about our events and join us for what’s guaranteed to be a great time.
Southern Exposure
Not to be missed. At our flagship tradeshow and conference, you’ll see the best of the best products and services the produce industry has to offer from hundreds of exhibitors. Thousands of attendees include foodservice and retail buyers, agricultural leaders, product innovators, and peers who are ready to share ideas and friendship. And there’s never a dull moment with a wealth of educational sessions, keynote speakers, and entertainment.
“Southern Exposure is the epitome of Southern hospitality. Through the years, it has proven to us that courteous treatment will always make our attendees the best advertisement.”
– David Sherrod, SEPC President and CEO
