In addition to an exciting conference programme, trade show and new connections roundtable, the event has a huge focus on industry talent. “Founded in 2005, the Center for Growing Talent (CGT) is a charitable organisation with the mission to provide industry-specific solutions to attract, develop and retain talent for the produce and floral industries,” explains Alicia Calhoun, CGT vice president - Talent portfolio. This year, the CGT will be hosting three programmes at Fresh Connections: Southern Africa.
