Event Details
“The NPFDA Fall Meeting is a worthwhile event, with excellent topics at our round tables, informative speakers and, most importantly, great networking and time together.” --- Laurie Pate, President, Foodlinx
"I have attended many conferences but I have never attended one that was so well put together. The information and content was very informative. The evening receptions allowed everyone to mingle and actually get to know each other rather than feel like you were actually having to “work” which was truly refreshing from other conferences I have attended. I am at a loss as to why anyone would not attend this conference each and every year." --- Lee Neal, VP of Business Development, Great Plains Transport
