APA MEETINGS AT A GLANCE...

Annual Meeting – a three-day meeting, usually held in June, which brings top industry and consumer experts together for a dialogue on timely issues. These include marketing tips, packaging trends, consumer research, and media reports and reaction to industry initiatives. APA members also share industry ideas and experiences.

Washington Seminar – an APA exclusive: two days in the Nation’s Capital with top government officials, who legislate and regulate the food industry. This mid-November meeting usually includes a regulatory update, legislative review, and an up-to-the-minute political outlook by a nationally known pundit. APA members can meet personally with national policymakers.

Raw Products Committee - APA members are automatically part of the apple industry’s Raw Products Committee, which meets prior to the annual growing season to be briefed on matters affecting that year’s apple crop.
