Meet the 2019 Aggies Attending Viva Fresh

As the DMA Solutions team gears up to travel to another produce show, we can’t help but share our excitement! The Viva Fresh Expo, to be held in San Antonio, Texas, offers a tailored tradeshow experience that provides a sense of closeness. Each year, this show serves as a perfect opportunity for new attendees and seasoned industry leaders alike to engage with one another, learn about the latest news, and see how produce has a global impact. In these last weeks leading up to the show, we will be focused on preparing for productive industry conversations, helping our clients put their best foot forward, and introducing our nine new Texas A&M students to the fresh produce industry. 

Dan’l personally interviews and selects Aggies, whose diverse backgrounds range from agricultural communications & journalism to engineering, to attend Viva Fresh with our team to get an immersive introduction to fresh. Each student is poised to learn more about the varied opportunities available within the industry, and this trip to Viva Fresh will be their introduction!

Dan’l and the DMA Solutions team will walk the show floor with the students to help facilitate industry introductions and showcase the vast opportunities for these bright individuals to should they choose a career in fresh produce. Viva Fresh attendees will be able to speak with the students during the Aggies for Fresh reception, which will take place Friday, April 26, from 4:30–5:30 pm. This opportunity is made possible by the partnership of the Aggies for Fresh, DMA Solutions and Texas International Produce Association (TIPA). 

Below is a quick introduction to the students with whom you will have the opportunity to speak at the reception and as they walk the show floor with the DMA team. Download students’ extended bios and contact information by filling out our form!
