Invitation from the Chair of the USPLTA

Greetings USPLTA Members!

Looking forward to a bright future!!

Start making arrangements to attend the 2024 USPLTA Annual Meeting in Denver, CO! This is a great location – easy to get to, no matter where you live. The Hyatt Regency Tech Center was hand-selected by our board because of the many qualities that make it a fantastic meeting destination. Make your room reservations early! We had such a great response last year regarding our featured speakers. The convention committee had recommendations for several new speakers this year… you asked and we listened!

  • Mark Stewart, President and CEO of Agriculture Future of America is “on a mission to connect industry with the next generation of food and ag leaders”. He will share insights about working with Gen Z.

  • Jordan Bar Am, Partner at McKinsey & Company, is an industry expert on alternative proteins. Jordan is a consultant for organizations, industry, and nonprofits, guiding agriculture businesses to generate additional value.

Keep an eye on the Pulse Pipeline each week for feature articles about the event as more speakers are revealed. The General Session will begin on Wednesday afternoon, October 2nd. The USADPLC is bringing a small group of European buyers to the meeting, along with staff from our newest marketing team, Liquid. Chef David Colcombe is tentatively scheduled to do a special cooking demonstration highlighting pulses. The weather should be fantastic in Denver early in October – plenty of wonderful golf courses to do business on, including Friday afternoon at the USPLTA Golf Tournament. Richard Duty (known for his golf skills in addition to his infamous arguments on the Grades Committee) has graciously served as Convention Committee chairman this year and helped coordinate the golf tournament. You know it will be great! The USPLTA Annual Meeting always has great information shared, but more importantly, it is a fantastic opportunity for our industry to network, bringing people and resources together. I’m looking forward to seeing you there!
