The most important thing is to come hungry to learn and excited to make connections across the supply chain.

To prepare, we suggest that you read these 3 short pieces so that we can hit the ground running.

“The Banana Timeline” – an excerpt from guest panelist Dan Koeppel’s book Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World

Dan will be signing copies of his book at the conference! Bring along your personal copy, or purchase one while you’re there!

“The Battle for Banana Livelihoods,” by guest panelist and blogger Alistair Smith
“How the Asoguabo Story Began,” by Annika Aho, a graduate student who did research on banana farms in Ecuador
