The Great Race


It's Tuesday and the first day of classes for the World Avocado Congress. With over 1,000 participants from 45 countries, its quite a spectacle. The class schedule is quite tight with only 20 minutes allowed on each subject. This makes it difficult to get into any one item in much detail. All classes are repeated three to four times to allow all participants plenty of opportunity to make each class of interest.
As expected nothing SUPER revolutionary has been discovered. Most companies with a new hot idea are the last ones to spill the beans if front of the entire world. This event is more like a great get together with the personal relationship side of things out weighing the actual presentations.
Don't get me wrong-many specialists presenting material are either not great public speakers or the material is drier than old bread. Everyone is enjoying the energy during the sessions so things are going well!
