PMG’s Produce Artist Award Series wraps up its winter season March 23, so encourage those awesome produce merchandisers and produce managers you know to turn in their favorite displays from the last few months to ProduceArtistAwards@ProduceMarketGuide.com.

As you may have seen, PMG recognizes industry professionals for their great entries throughout each seasonal contest with posts on our LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts, and we also compile photos from entries into free merchandising inspiration resources for industry professionals.

The celebration of merchandising continues with our winter results webinar, during which we’ll feature some of the top overall entries for the produce merchandiser category and the produce manager category and also recognize best displays in key seasonal categories like citrus and potatoes.

The webinar is set for April 2 at 12 p.m. CST. Everyone is welcome to register here to see the event.

One of the favorite features of the event is expert commentary from three longtime produce retailers.

Sharing their insight at the webinar will be:

  • Mike O’Brien, president of O’Brien Innovations, former vice president of produce for Schnuck Markets, and 2004 Produce Retailer of the Year;
  • Joe Watson, vice president of membership and engagement for Produce Marketing Association, former director of produce and floral for Rouses Markets, and 2014 Produce Retailer of the Year; and
  • Armand Lobato, longtime produce retail professional and columnist for The Packer and PMG.

Sign up today for the event at the webinar registration link, and you can check out the Fall 2020 results webinar for a taste of what to expect. We’d love to have you join us!
