Wanted: SYPPs

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Wanted: SYPPs (savvy young produce professionals) under 35 seeking to make industry connections with other young professionals. Have a drink on the PMA Foundation for Industry Talent at the Young Professionals Reception on Friday Oct. 2 from 5-6 p.m. and build your network of peers with a short, fun speed-networking activity and lots of time to socialize.

Once you've connected with other SYPPs, then you can spend the next few days at Fresh Summit taking long walks with them on the expo floor and having meaningful talks over expensive dinners (as long as the boss is paying).
