Fresh produce travelers have another opportunity for in-person events with the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure this week in Orlando, FL.
Unlike Viva Fresh in Dallas, SEPC’s event mirrors much of the same schedule as before, with the Tom Page Golf Classic under way on April 6, education and an opening gala on April 7, and the expo on April 8.
A few key differences are apparent, like an option called the Virtual Garden for those who cannot attend in-person and enhanced safety measures are in place.
Education sessions have very spaced out seating, as you see here:

Masks are required, as is physical distancing, and temperature/health screenings with signage to remind you.

A full list of know-before-you-go information is available in the SEPC’s most recent Council Connection. Read it here.
