AMHPAC Hosts Its 8th Annual Convention in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO - When you think about Puerto Vallarta your mind may drift to sandy beaches, crystal blue water, or the remote location where Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger was filmed. But I would like to suggest another reason to pack your bags for the well-known vacation destination, AMHPAC’s 8th Annual Convention located at the Sheraton Buganvilias® Resort & Convention Center. So, mark your calendars and sign up now for the August 27th-28th event in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico.
Just a few months away, national and international leaders, as well as growers, government officials, representatives of the supply chain, researchers and consultants will converge on Puerto Vallarta to address the changing landscape of the produce industry as well as social responsibility, sustainable agriculture, food safety, climate change and the ever-evolving political issues that keep us on our toes.
The event will officially kick off on the 27th with an opening ceremony at 10:00 AM hosting important personalities in the agricultural sector. A number of activities will be offered between 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in the Expo Buganvilias and Amapola halls. Stay tuned for a deeper look into the upcoming content.
Alternative trade sessions will also be developed and held in the Ceiba and Jacaranda halls, in which attendees will have the opportunity to negotiate with the main traders, both retailers and wholesalers from the US and Canada.
AMHPAC will also be hosting its 2nd Annual Race on Thursday August 27th at 6:30 AM, with two distances of your choosing, the 5 and 10 K. Have you signed up yet? To do so, please send an email to [email protected].
Thursday's event will wrap up with AMHPAC’s traditional theme night, where you can enjoy yourself and chat with agricultural entrepreneurs, businessmen, buyers, and input suppliers.
The activities of August 28th will start at 10:00 AM with a panel addressing Social Responsibility, followed by the General Assembly at 11:00 AM, where important subjects will be discussed on the course of the industry and what steps we must take to get there.
