 PPI
Spring Meeting at NC State
North Carolina State University will be hosting the spring meeting
for Pickle Packers International in Raleigh, NC at the Marriott
Crabtree Hotel. The spring meeting rotates among host locations
each year, and NC State is honored to host the meeting in 2001.
Theme: 21st century technologies for the pickled vegetable
industry. Previous PPI spring meetings hosted by NC State
were in 1989 (theme: biotechnology and ecology) and in 1995 (theme:
global perspectives).
Posters will be set up on Wednesday at 8 am and taken down at
5 pm. They can be viewed before and after the oral presentations,
and during breaks.
