Southern Exposure 2024 made it’s first trip back to Tampa since 2020 – just days after that event concluded the country was shut down due to the pandemic. After three great years in Orlando, the return to Tampa was a triumphant homecoming.

That spirit was evident throughout, with somewhere between 3400-3500 attendees and well over 700 produce buyers, about a 5-to-1 ratio unrivaled by tradeshows elsewhere in the industry. Take a look at some of the faces from the show floor!
