www.UnitedFreshShow.org
Welcome to Chicago!
We’re so glad you are joining us here at United Fresh 2015 where thousands of
fresh produce leaders have come together to celebrate the colors and flavors of
our industry.
No matter which segment of the supply chain you represent, United Fresh 2015
has something planned for you. Over the next few days, you’ll find the education
and business connections you need to drive success for your company. Visit
the destination areas at our trade show floor to meet with exhibitors showcasing
dynamic new products and to participate in Fresh Tech and Fresh Marketplace
learning center sessions focused on produce marketing, business management,
leadership development, supply chain logistics and food safety topics – to name
a few.
Kick off the week with a ride on the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier during Monday
night’s Opening Party – I can’t wait to take a spin and see the city from the top
of the wheel myself! Wednesday night, join me as we recognize the stars of our
industry – the outstanding produce managers, chefs and foodservice operators
who work tirelessly to introduce consumers to the fresh produce they love both
in their retail outlets and on the menus they plan.
UNITED FRESH 2015 | WELCOME LETTER

The United Fresh Produce Association is a total produce industry association,
representing members throughout the entire fresh produce and floral supply
chain from grower through retailer and foodservice provider, as well as allied
suppliers and associations serving the industry. United Fresh is unique among
produce trade associations in that every sector of the supply chain has its own
special focus in association leadership, giving a strong voice to each sector
to better ensure an overall united voice for the industry. Member leaders
nominated for service from different segments of the supply chain are chosen in
direct proportion to the association’s overall membership.

Saving Costs and Improving Efficiencies with 3rd Party Cold Chain Partners
Logistics costs are a large percentage of total consumer price for their produce.
With stress on our transportation systems, increasing regulatory cost of
compliance, and large capital outlay for high value assets; working with a thirdparty cold chain provider can help reduce costs in the areas of transportation,
storage, cross docking and forward distribution. With their specific expertise in
cold chain management, 3rd party cold chain partners can improve efficiencies
and reduce waste. This session will feature case studies from 3rd party cold chain
providers regarding specific successes in reducing logistics costs while freeing
valuable capital from logistics assets that can be reinvested into growing a produce
company’s core business of delivering high quality and variety of produce to the
consumer. These case studies will be moderated by the Global Cold Chain Alliance
and will feature members of GCCA and United Fresh.

Wednesday morning we kick off with NFL Hall of Famer
and the Chicago Bears beloved Coach Mike Ditka who
will share insights from his decades of experience as
an NFL player, coach and analyst on the importance of
leadership and the value of teamwork.
His name is synonymous with the Chicago Bears. “Da Coach or Iron Mike,” Ditka
played for, and coached the Bears for 17 seasons. Over a single decade (‘82-‘92),
he coached the Bears compiling a win-loss record of 112 to 68 during that time.
He guided the Bears to six NFC Central Divisional titles, in addition to three NFC
title games. Most notably, the ‘85 Bears are considered amongst the NFL’s “Best
Ever Teams” going 18-1 that year culminating with the Super Bowl XX title. Twice,
Ditka was named the NFL’s Coach of the Year (‘85 and ‘88). From 1985-1988, he
led the Bears to 52 wins – the most ever by an NFL team in a four-year span in
NFL history. He left the Bears football organization in 1992.
Ditka has won three Super Bowls, as a play (Dallas- Super Bowl VI), as an
assistant coach, (Dallas-Super Bowl XII), and as a head coach (Chicago Super
Bowl XX). He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1988.
The breakfast will also feature remarks from Incoming Chairman Brian Kocher,
COO of Castellini Company, as well as honor the hundreds of graduates of the
Produce Industry Leadership Program and the impact the program has had over
the past two decades. We’ll also celebrate the graduation of Leadership Class 20
and announce the twelve new members of Leadership Class 21.

Leadership Alumni Education: Strategic Leadership for Your Business
(Invitation Only)
This event is open to United Fresh Leadership Alumni.
Every leader has to deliver the goods—make budget, meet deadlines, inspire
people—and provide the fuel that keeps their business running day-in and dayout. But every day our actions mean we can get closer to winning the battle, but
losing the war - that is the long game of creating sustainable value in a volatile,
uncertain industry that is becoming more and more complicated and uncertain.
In the 20 years since the start of the Leadership Program, we have come to
understand what leadership is … but now we must solve the number one
business challenge leaders face - winning the long game by being more strategic;
developing the skills to look outside the four walls of the organization and see the
world from the future back.

Training the Industry to Comply with FDA’s Preventive Controls Rule
Later this year, FDA will publish the final rule on Preventive Controls for Human
Food and Animal Foods. The rule will require all FDA-registered facilities to have
a “qualified individual” who has training or professional experience in food safety
and the regulatory requirements. The Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance
(FSPCA) is nearing completion of the FDA-recognized certification course that
the industry can take to meet this requirement. This is the same course that FDA
investigators will attend. In this session, Dr. Brackett will describe what the Alliance
has already accomplished, who will be the trainers, what you can expect to be
included in training, and what resources the industry can expect from FSPCA in
the future.
Organic continues to be a desired produce consumer choice and throughout the
store. Beyond stable demand, what does that mean for you? This session will
review sales trends in organic products in produce and beyond as well as explore
merchandising strategies to maximize sales for this in-demand category.

There’s no reason
fresh produce should
go to waste.
Billions of pounds of produce are going to waste in America.
Feeding America offers a sustainable solution.
Feeding America is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief
organization. The Feeding America network distributes more than a
half billion pounds of fresh produce per year that may otherwise go
to waste—the equivalent of over 12,000 truckloads! Our Produce
Program can pick up and distribute your excess inventory to 200
member food banks across the U.S., reducing your costs for storage,
transportation and disposal.
To learn more, please contact us at [email protected]
or 312.641.6606.
Feeding America and United Fresh have long partnered to prevent fresh produce from going to waste. Excess
produce from this year’s show is distributed to those in need by the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
Thanks to all exhibitors who donate this year.
Learn more about the Greater Chicago Food Depository at www.chicagosfoodbank.org.

In 1995, SUNSET® pushed the
boundaries on flavor by
introducing a European
tomato, and for the first time
in history a tomato was
called by name: Campari®.
Visit us at the SUNSET® FLAVORMOBILE outside the convention
center or Booth 1626 at the United Fresh, June 9th and 10th in Chicago.
