MONTEREY, CA - The recent PMA Foodservice Conference in Monterey shattered previous records in attendance and participation, a feat which Cathy Burns, the President of the Produce Marketing Association, is exceptionally proud.

"Everywhere we broke record which says to me that the show provided incredible value to operators, food distributors, suppliers to ultimately innovate the plate and provide some really exciting things for consumers,” she told ANUK.

In all, PMA Foodservice had 1821 registrants, over 200 operators, 164 booths, and a record number of participants in its 5K race. In addition, PMA Foodservice's Woman's Fresh Perspectives program drew impressive attendance numbers, with 150 women and men gathering together to talk about how the produce industry can best support and inspire women to reach their fullest potential.

Cathy made a point of thanking the incredible leadership PMA Foodservice benefited from, especially Fritz Stelter and Jill Overdorf, the two Co-Chairs, as well as all of PMA Foodservices staff.

“It felt effortless,” she said.
