NFRA Convention is Rich with Business Opportunities
Convention Registrations are Ahead of Last Year

Harrisburg, PA – The 2005 National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Convention is setting a record pace for registrations providing even more opportunities for delegates to make contacts, build relationships and conduct business. The National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA), sponsor of the Convention, will hold this year’s event October 8-12, at the Hilton San Francisco, California.

The National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Convention is the industry event that provides an immediate return on investment by allowing attendees to meet with more customers in less time. It is designed to provide attendees the time and opportunity to meet face-to-face with executives from all segments of the industry. Already over 40 retail chains have reserved space to conduct customer business meetings.

The Convention—themed A Golden Opportunity— will bring attendees nationally recognized speakers, educational sessions by industry experts and school foodservice roundtables to complement the Convention’s business focus. From beginning to end, every Convention event is structured to bring all segments of the frozen and refrigerated foods industry together for valuable interaction.

The Convention will kick off with the popular Taste of Excellence Reception where frozen and refrigerated food companies can showcase their latest products. An annual Convention highlight, the Taste of Excellence gives delegates the chance to meet with industry colleagues while sampling the newest products in frozen and refrigerated foods.

This year’s schedule features Monday morning breakfast speaker Robert Novak, journalist and political commentator, followed by a general session presented by Willard Bishop Consulting which will focus on the State of Grocery Retailing Today and the Importance of Cold Space. Sports personality, Dick Vitale will be Tuesday’s breakfast speaker followed by a general session with RQA, Inc. on Crisis Management and Product Recall in the Retail and Foodservice Industries. In addition, School Foodservice Roundtables will be held where delegates can meet with school foodservice insiders to discuss relevant topics in a roundtable atmosphere.

Closing the Convention, a special awards reception and banquet will honor the Golden Penguin Award winners for March National Frozen Food Month, June Dairy Month and the June/July Summer Favorites Ice Cream & Novelties promotion.
