2021 Global Organic Produce Expo is only a few weeks away and Sharon Robb, National Marketing Manager of North Bay Produce, has a few tips and tricks to successfully navigate an expo.

The GOPEX Golf event will be held on the famed TPC Sawgrass Stadium golf course. 40 exhibitors will line the course, while golfers make their way through the iconic holes and visit with exhibitors along the way. Networking receptions, BizMatch and other face-to-face time will fill out this two-day event.

What they’re most excited about for the event?

My team is so excited to GOLF! This has been the one show I have had no problems getting workers for this summer!

What is your go-to trade show shoes?

Oh my goodness, I have the worse feet, lol! I usually wear my broken in cowboy boots or memory foam sandals to shows!

Any other trade show tips and tricks?

Always try to hand out great samples! It keeps you busy and draws in the crowds!

What is your best memory of Florida?

I would have to say the stone crab! I love seafood and the stone crab claws are THE Best in Florida!

What is your favorite golf story?

I am not a golfer, but at a golf outing in Indianapolis they let me decorate a cart and create special cocktails for the players. It is a great way to get to know everyone and the drinks become pretty popular by the end of the event!
