Episode 43 of Tip of the Iceberg Podcast features a conversation between The Packer's editor Tom Karst and four members of the Texas International Produce Association board of directors and Viva Fresh steering committee: Brett Erickson, Tommy Wilkins, Craig Slate and Ed Bertaud.

They discuss how the organization pulled off the first in-person trade show in the produce industry in nearly a year with Viva Fresh 2021, from changes implemented for safety, to the experience of the event, to takeaways that will be used to improve future shows.
