The Texas International Produce Association released the following statement regarding the postponement of the Viva Fresh Expo, scheduled for April 29-May 2 in San Antonio:
The Texas International Produce Association (TIPA) and the Viva Fresh Steering Committee have been keeping a close watch on the evolving Coronavirus situation.
Because the health and safety of our attendees, exhibitors, staff and volunteers are our number one priority, we will not be moving forward with the Viva Fresh Expo as scheduled on April 29 – May 2. We are reviewing options for a possible postponement and will keep you updated on our progress.
In the meantime, our valued sponsors, exhibitors and paid attendees have the option to receive full credit that can be applied to the 2021 Viva Fresh Expo. If you would like a refund, TIPA will provide an 80% refund (less Paypal fees for payments made by card). Your support in taking advantage of the future credit option will go a long way in ensuring our ability to continue to deliver the exceptional trade show experience that the Viva Fresh Expo has become known for. For more information, contact Lilly Garcia at lilly.garcia@texipa.org or via phone at (956) 581-8632.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate through this unprecedented situation.
