Thursday morning, join us as Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, co-hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, deliver their signature off-the-cuff commentary during this morning’s general session. We’ll also hear from Chairman-Elect, Ron Midyett, Chief Executive Officer, Apio, as he sets the course for the year ahead for United Fresh, and we’ll announce The Packer’s 2013 Produce Man or Woman of the Year Award.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe Duo to Give Fresh Political Perspectives Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski When former Congressman Joe Scarborough and acclaimed journalist Mika Brzezinski take the stage, the duo will share insights into the current political landscape. Morning Joe has become a “must-watch” news source since it was launched in 2007. The show features top-name guests from all parts of the political, media, and cultural spectrums. An enlightening and entertaining duo—Brzezinski is the Democrat to Scarborough’s Republican. Prior to joining MSNBC, Scarborough was the Republican representative in Congress for Florida’s 1st District from 1994-2001. While in office, he served on numerous committees, including the Judiciary, Armed Services, Government Reform and Oversight, Education and the Workforce, and National Security. Brzezinski’s long-standing journalism career began in 1990 with ABC before joining CBS in 1997 where she became the principal “Ground Zero” CBS reporter for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Prior to joining MSNBC in January 2007, Brzezinski was an anchor of the CBS Evening News Weekend Edition and a CBS News correspondent.

Consumer marketing is no longer defined by a list of demographics. It’s defined by the “need state” of the shopper.

PRODUCE MARKETING & MERCHANDISING CONFERENCE FRIday, MAY 17 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Multi-Cultural Marketing & Merchandising Today, more than one-third of the U.S. population is multicultural. By 2040, that number will rise to one half. What significance does this have for food providers? It means those who compete effectively for these customers will be in a position to profit from this growth. But those who ignore the changing marketplace—or make only token efforts—will not find success. In this session, we’ll take a look at different population demographics and their buying habits, and then take a deeper dive into the shopping and consumption patterns of Hispanic consumers, one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. population. As a contributor on NPD’s latest It’s Mealtime With Hispanics study, marketing strategist Terry Soto will show attendees how to optimize their marketing and merchandising strategies to successfully grow produce sales among this growing population.

10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. The Impact of Social Technology on Food Culture Social media has dramatically changed today’s food culture by influencing how consumers think about, talk about and experience food.
